Abstract
THE use of a coaxial plasma gun with radial magnetic field for the production of magnetized plasma rings was suggested1 by H. Alfvén in 1958. Experiments with a plasma gun of that type were started in the spring of 1958 and a detailed report is to be published2. We present here some new results obtained during continued experiments with a slightly modified plasma gun.
