A recent paper by Ioffe et al. indicates the presence of an additional loss mechanism (other than charge exchange) when a hot plasma is confined in a mirror geometry. It is the purpose of this note to point out that most of Ioffe's measurements fall into a very regular pattern and can be qualitatively explained by the assumption of a single monotonic relation between the unknown loss rate and the average ion energy. A discussion of some possible origins of the addition loss rate is given.

TRAIL Microcard Collection
Imaged from microcard, these technical reports describe research performed for U.S. government agencies from the 1930s to the 1960s. The reports were provided by the Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
