The Astron experimental facility recently reached a milestone when its E layer, a cylinder of rotating relativistic electrons, produced 5% of the current density needed to make a linear magnetic bottle for controlled fusion. The first stage of a new injection accelerator was authorized by AEC this spring; the accelerator will ultimately be capable of building up the E layer to 100%.
