Confinement of pure-electron plasmas in a toroidal magnetic-surface configuration.
A pure-electron plasma has been confined in a toroidal magnetic-surface configuration for as long as classical diffusion time due to neutral collisions. By controlling the potential of the internal conductor, long-term stable confinement of electrons has been achieved in a toroidal geometry.
