Prospects of mirror-based reactors
Plenary
A fusion reactor concept on the basis of a linear trap is developing in BINP. These studies incorporate multiple-mirror sections which should reduce significantly longitudinal plasma losses from a confinement zone as an important element of a central trap. The most efficient operation regime of multiple-mirror sections is at the mean free path of ions approximately equal to the length of an...

Alternative to DT fusion fuels such as pB11 could provide truly clean and abundant energy source. Projection to pB11 reactor based on advanced, neutral beam driven FRC plasma configuration developed in TAE will be discussed in the presentation. New data for pB11 cross section1) predict higher fusion rates than it was assumed before and opens possibility to achieve higher Q than it was expected...

In the paper, we present and discuss the Budker Institute long term plans for laying the plasma physics database for an advanced fuel fusion reactor based on the axisymmetric linear magnetic trap. General approach to development of the reactor utilizes the idea of confinement of a plasma with utmost pressure value confined in the linear device with the multi-mirror end sections attached at...
