Popis: A multipole plasma trap uses radio-frequency electric multipole fields to confine the charged particles of a plasma in a 3D volume. For experimentation with this concept, it is necessary to load the trap with the desired distribution of particles. A new concept is illustrated, in which one trap electrode is replaced with the aperture of a linear multipole stage, which acts as a conduit to channel plasma from a source region to the trap volume. This linear multipole plasma transport also lends itself to investigation of 2D multipole confinement, with and without an axial magnetic field.
