Abstract
Experimental plasma parameters in an electric-discharge galathea multipole trap operating in a barrier mode ("discharge with mantle") at a magnetic fi eld strength below 20 Oe are reported. The local plasma parameters exhibit saturation with increasing cathode emission current. The plasma energy life time tau(E) and the "barrier" coefficient beta are estimated.
