Magnetic‐mirror performance challenges tokamaks
DOI: 10.1063/1.3024496
Results with the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory magnetic‐mirror experiments over the past year and a bit are encouraging ERDA to push much harder in that direction, so that mirrors might share some of the funds tokamaks have been attracting. The results on 2XIIB are showing how to stabilize the mirror plasma, increase its value of beta and raise
