Random gapped wall stabilization for travelling mirror compressors

Creators

Description

A new stabilization scheme is described, randomly-gapped wall stabilization (a modification of conventional wall stabilization), that will stabilize the travelling mirror without introducing any of the common problems. This scheme could also be used to provide stabilization for other types of time-dependent magnetic fields, such as theta pinches, where ungapped walls would prevent field penetration
