“…When the Cold War ended, it became possible for Russian scientists to share their accomplishments with the global scientific community, and we learned of the MAGO approach to what we now call magnetized target fusion. 20 Scientists from the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics at Sarov ͑formerly Arzamas-16͒, building on ideas originated by Andre Sakharov, are attempting to access the intermediate density by using MAGO magnetized plasma formation methods and by using relatively low-cost disk explosive magnetic flux compression generators 21 as implosion drivers. When single-shot flux compression generators are considered, it is possible that Eq.…”

We apply a few simple first-principles equations to identify the parameter space in which controlled fusion might be possible. Fundamental physical parameters such as minimum size, energy, and power as well as cost are estimated. We explain why the fusion fuel density in inertial confinement fusion is more than 10 11 times larger than the fuel density in magnetic confinement fusion. We introduce magnetized target fusion as one possible way of accessing a density regime that is intermediate between the two extremes of inertial confinement fusion and magnetic confinement fusion and is potentially lower cost than either of these two.

Transient electromagnetic fields — during or after laser/particle beam-target interaction — are a significant and hardly explored parameter. This paper proposes a new method for measuring transient electromagnetic fields, based on ultrafast high-energy electron lens radiography, that has a high tolerance for matter in the diagnosed region. With this method, a continuous point strength diagnosis helps to obtain delicate. Furthermore, dual-band diagnosis can be used to determine the field direction. To verify its feasibility, a 50 MeV electron lens radiography beamline was designed and optimized and a preliminary simulation for diagnosing circular magnetic fields ranging from 170 T·μm to 680 T·μm was performed. For a number density of 2000/pixel and ±10% non-uniformity, ±15% diagnostic field strength accuracy has been obtained. The direction diagnosis also works well. Combined with the advantages of high-energy electron beams, ultrafast high-energy electron lens radiography is suitable for transient electromagnetic field diagnosis.
