Neutral beam sustained, field-reversed mirror reactors

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore Lab., CA

Description

Conceptual design studies were completed for neutral beam sustained, field-reversed mirror reactors. The field-reversed mirror has a compact toroidal plasma geometry bounded by closed poloidal magnetic field lines generated by an azimuthal diamagnetic plasma current in a nearly uniform background magnetic field. The closed poloidal field structure has major radius R and minor radius a
