Two types of instabilities were previously identified in inductive discharges having an expanding chamber when negative ions are present: (i) the source instability, occurring in the neighborhood of the capacitive-to-inductive (E to H) transition, and (ii) the downstream instability, which was shown to be the periodic formation and propagation of double layers. These unstable double layers were found over the entire parameter space (pressure/power) of interest, and they were born at the interface of the source and diffusion chambers. They acted as an internal electrostatic barrier separating a low-electronegativity, high-electron-density plasma upstream (in the source) and a high-electronegativity, low-electron-density plasma downstream. In this paper we have investigated the effect of adding a static axial magnetic field, classically used to increase the confinement and the plasma heating via helicon wave propagation. This had the following consequences: (i) the unstable double layers, and therefore the ...
