  This work presents the X-ray characterization of the plasma generated in simple mirror axis symmetric trap as a function of magnetic field profile. A Si-Pin detector has been used to characterize warm electron population either in axial than in radial direction at two different operating frequencies: 4.1 GHz and 6.8 GHz. Moreover, the hot electrons emitted by axial direction has been measured by means of a HyperPure Germanium (HpGe) detector. Results show that X-ray emission is not homogenous and homogeneity and temperature depends strongly on the magnetic field profile.

  This work presents the multiple diagnostics characterization of the plasma in an axis-symmetric simple mirror trap as a function of magnetic field profile (mirror ratios and magnetic field gradient), neutral gas pressure and microwave power. The simultaneous use of Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Langmuir Probe and X-ray diagnostics allows the characterization of the whole electron energy distribution function (EEDF), from a few eV to hundreds of keV. Results show non-linear behaviours under small variations of even one source parameter and strong influence of EEDF on the Bmin/BECR ratio. Benefit and next developments will be highlighted.

  The time-resolved characterization of the X-ray emission represents an innovative technique to investigate the heating mechanism of the worm/hot electron component in ECRIS devices. In this paper, the technique has been described and the results of an experimental campaign of measurements in order to characterize the X-rays emission of an axis-symmetric simple mirror trap has been showed. Particular attention has been paid to the ignition and turning off phase. This approach has permitted to estimate confinement time of the warm/hot electron population and put in evidence eventual instability effects during the critical phases. Further developments and perspectives of the technique will be highlighted.
