Stabilization of the axisymmetric magnetic mirror relies on the pressure-weighted magnetic field curvature. We report a new experiment by configuring a magnetic cusp structure to stabilize m = 1 interchange mode in KMAX tandem mirror. The cusp configuration is formed by reversing currents in the two side cell coils, and a stronger cusp can lead to a more stable plasma once the null point of cusp is less than 35–40 cm away from the device axis. The density fluctuations measured by four axial Langmuir probes are mitigated by 70%–80%. The stabilization effect is consistent with the prediction of a theoretical calculation.
