Abstract
A compact and powerful plasma generator was developed with the use of directly heated lanthanum hexaboride cathode which is composed of four units, convenient to handle, and designed to absorb thermal stress. A high plasma density of around 1×1019 m-3 was generated with a diameter of more than 10 cm in a cylindrical discharge chamber, appropriate for simulation studies on edge plasma physics.Keywords
