Description
Field-line reconnection and the behavior of closed field-line plasma have been studied using a two-dimensional Lagrangian code. The effects of field-line divergence of the pinch end, active and passive mirrors, and laser heating are considered. A physical interpretation of plasma behavior for different experimental techniques is given. These calculations aid in understanding some of the experimental results of Los Alamos and the Kurchatov Institute
