This review addresses field-reversed configurations (FRCs), which are compact-toroidal
magnetic systems with little or no toroidal field and very high β (ratio of plasma pressure to …

The magnetized liner inertial fusion concept has been presented as a path toward obtaining
substantial thermonuclear fusion yields using the Z accelerator [SA Slutz et al., Phys …

The sheared-flow stabilized Z pinch has demonstrated long-lived plasmas with fusion-
relevant parameters. We present the first experimental results demonstrating sustained …

In this community white paper, we describe an approach to achieving fusion which employs
a hybrid of elements from the traditional magnetic and inertial fusion concepts, called …

Collisional merging formation of field-reversed configurations (FRCs) at super Alfvénic
velocity have been successfully initiated in the FAT-CM device at Nihon University. It is …

Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a potentially low cost path to fusion, intermediate in
plasma regime between magnetic and inertial fusion energy. It requires compression of a …

We begin with the fundamental element, or you may say, the first step of traveling to space:
orbiting around Earth or another celestial body. Consider an object orbiting the Earth; unless …

Field-reversed theta-pinch (FRTP) is commonly used to form high-performance field-
reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas, and it is employed for the initial plasma formation in …

Abstract HFRC (HUST Field-Reversed Configuration) device is a complex magnetic
confinement fusion research device for studying field-reversed configuration, which is …

Magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) approaches take advantage of an embedded magnetic field to
improve plasma energy confinement by reducing thermal conduction relative to …
