Description

In these articles we shall discuss the problem of confinement and stability of plasma in a special type of magnetic field. Fields of this type are variously known as ''magnetic wells'', ''hybrid traps'' or ''minimum-B fields'' They are of special interest because they combine the adiabatic containment properties of the simple mirror field with the stability of the cusp field
