Analysis of non-ionized substance losses in experiments on plasma mass separation

Plasma mass separation requires a lot of diagnostic techniques that not only demonstrate the separation effect but also show the efficiency of the process.During the test experiments,plasma flux to be separated may contain neutral particles that avoid the separation process due to their insensitivity to electromagnetic field.We present the diagnostics of the lost substance in experiments on plasma mass separation.The obtained data of the diagnostics helps determine the law of particle evaporation from the plasma source.We show that neutral flux is unable to distort the result of separation diagnostics.The presented approach can be used in experiments aimed at enhancing the separation effect and achieving target productivity for industry applications.
