Abstract
A Q machine with a rotating cathode structure and a limiter-type heat shiel d is described, which achieves an azimuthally symmetric and radially unifor m profile of plasma density and potential. The point of emphasis is that a long time operation is realized by utilizing the latest technique of vacuum - and water-tight feedthroughs, yielding a plasma source for basic experime nts with higher accuracy.
