The tandem mirror reactor

Creators

Description

A new plasma confinement scheme is described which employs magnetic mirror plasmas to stopper the ends of a long solenoid. The overall system Q, defined as the ratio of fusion power to total plasma injection power, can exceed that of a conventional mirror by an arbitrary factor, depending on the size and power of the system.
