Progress in development of theta pinches for formation of field reversed configurations suitable for subsequent compression to magnetized target fusion conditions

Summary form only given. The design, calculations, and experimental progress for theta pinches to produce field reversed configuration's (FRC's) suitable for subsequent compression by an imploding metal liner to magnetized target fusion (MTF) conditions are presented and discussed. The des...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Summary form only given. The design, calculations, and experimental progress for theta pinches to produce field reversed configuration's (FRC's) suitable for subsequent compression by an imploding metal liner to magnetized target fusion (MTF) conditions are presented and discussed. The desired initial FRC parameters are density /spl sim/10/sup 17/ cm/sup -3/, temperature /spl sim/100 to 300 eV, length /spl sim/30 cm, separatrix radius -2.5 cm, magnetic field between separatrix and liner /spl sim/5 Tesla.
