Compact tori for alternate-fuel fusion

Description

A D-T burn dynamic experiment using a scaled-up field-reversed theta-pinch device is proposed as a first step towards demonstration of a D-3He burn. The feasibility of such an experiment is based on a loss-cone-like confinement scaling described here plus the concept of using combined pellet and neutral-beam injection to heat the plasma build-up, its density, and damp the m=2 instability. The potential extension to a D-3He reactor is also discussed
