Theoretical aspects of mirror fusion. Annual progress report, 1 July 1982-31 March 1983

Description

The techniques of theoretical and computational plasma physics were applied to two important problems in mirror fusion. First, we have found that electron collisions with neutral gas play an important role in determining the leak width of a cusp confined plasma. Second, we have found that mirror plasmas are susceptible to parametric instabilities during electron cyclotron resonance heating
