Recent magneto-inertial fusion experiments on the field reversed configuration heating experiment

“…Recent progress also includes improved 2D-MHD simulation fidelity to magnetic probe and interferometry signals in experiments on FRC formation and capture. Prior reports by a number of researchers suggest the general concept of using liners to compress plasmas and research on shorter or lower velocity liners [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and implosion of a Cu-W liner with explosives to compress flux to 200 T [23]. Present related work includes the Sandia magnetized liner implosion fusion (MagLIF) effort [24].…”

Progress on Liner Implosions for Compression of FRC's

“…This includes suggesting the general concept of using liners to compress plasma, and research on shorter or lower velocity liner implosions [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], and implosion of a Cu-W liner with explosives to compress flux to 200 T [18]. …”
