The field reversed configuration (FRC) is an innovative confinement system that offers a unique fusion reactor potential because of its compact and simple geometry, transport properties, and high plasma beta. Brief review ...

The major electrical characteristics of pulsed coaxial magneto-plasma accelerator with a capacitive power source are calculated on the basis of approximate mathematical model of pulsed plasma thruster, preionization system ...

Magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) including magnetized target compression by high energy laser pulses is fastgrowing area of research. Distinctive feature of this problem is presence of initial seed fields (the imposed external ...

Collisionless particle transport is considered on the base of interaction of plasma particles with wave packets arising as a result of the overlap of many wave modes. Results of calculation of diffusion coefficients are ...

A field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma is vortex-like, isolated toroid of plasma with high beta (plasma pressure/magnetic-field pressure). Such a self-organized, stable system is a candidate for the magnetic fusion ...
