Popis:	The Plasma Stabilization Experiment is an effort to enhance stability in a mirror-confined plasma by stoppering cold ions with rf fields applied near the mirror throats. In this initial report period, primary and backup antennas were designed and fabricated. The primary pair was installed in the UTRC mirror facility and stabilization tests were initiated. In these initial tests rf power was applied to only one antenna at a time. Preliminary results indicate a stoppering effect at the mirror throat subjected to the rf and a simultaneous increase in the rate of decay of the confined plasma. These observations suggest the stoppering effect at one mirror throat is more than offset by an enhanced loss rate through the other throat. In the next test series rf power will be applied simultaneously in both mirror throats.
