The particle confinement has been studied by Monte-Carlo simulation in the intermediate regime between the collisional and collisionless regimes for the mirrors with space-varing magnetic fields, for example, LAMEX and parabolic magnetic field profiles. The particle confinement time in the intermediate regime is longer than the extrapolation values based on the formulas in other two regimes, and proportional to the mirror ratio. The density profiles have been obtained as self-consistent solutions from the simulation. The dependence of the density profile on the plasma parameters are discussed.
