Abstract

The processes leading to end loss of ions from a mirror machine are reviewed. These include breakdown of adiabaticity, scattering and energy drag by classical collisions, and scattering by unstable fluctuations. Described are the linear theory of those modes thought to be of significance in present and reactor-size plasmas, and those features known of their nonlinear saturation.
