Abstract
It may become possible to create powerful neutron sources from a number of magnetic plasma confinement schemes being investigated in fusion research. Among the one- and two- energy-component plasmas discussed so far, special attention is drawn in this paper to quasi-static systems such as the Spherator with magnetically shielded supports, as well as to rotating plasma systems such as the closed Tornado bottle and open bottles. Provided that sufficiently high ion and electron temperatures can be reached, these systems may be operated at higher plasma densities and smaller dimensions than those of mirror and Tokamak neutron sources.
