Improved Tandem Mirror Fusion Reactor
Abstract
It is shown that the introduction of barrier potentials between the plugs and solenoid of a tandem mirror substantially reduce ion energy and density required in end plugs. Several means for creating barriers and some of the important physics issues are discussed.
