Experiments have been conducted on an adiabatic toroidal compressor with tangential injection of two 14-15-keV, 3-4-A beams of H^0 or D^0. The ion-temperature rise for both H^+ and D^+ plasmas is 70-80 eV (i. e. , 35-40%), consistent with theoretical expectations for charge-exchange-limited energy transport at neutral-atom densities 10^9 cm^-3. The injected ions are found to decelerate in agreement with classical theory and produce an initial plasma ion heating rate of 20 keV/sec.
Bol et al. (1974) studied this question.
