Abstract
The operational characteristics of a convectively cooled Magnetically stabilized, Photo-initiated, Impulse-enhanced, Electrically-excited (MAGPIE) coaxial discharge system are described. terminal behavior is examined as a function of several parameters, such as gas flow, pulser ionization, and magnetic field strength. In-situ plasma potential measurements are also presented, which indicate that CO2 attachment effects have considerable influence on the spatial electrical characteristics of the gas discharge.
