Abstract The transport of plasma clusters was experimentally investigated using two- dimensional multipole fields with a multipolarity index of 2s, equal to 4, 6, 8, and 12. It was found that when 2s=4 the running losses are independent of the magnetic field strength and distance from the plasma gun over a wide range of values. On passing to the case in which 2s=12, the running losses decrease as the field and distance from the gun increases, all other conditions being equal, the cluster transport occurs with smaller losses. For fairly large twelve-pole fields there are virtually no plasma losses to a distance of 65 cm from the gun.
