Recent mirror machine results and their implications for mirror systems
Abstract
Improved confinement recently achieved in the Livermore 2XIIB experiment is interpreted in terms of warm plasma stabilization of the drift-cone mode. The same theoretical model explains present and earlier mirror observations and also predicts improved prospects for achieving classical plasma loss rates in mirror fusion reactors.
