Abstract
A basic plasma physics tandem mirror experiment is proposed to develop the potential uses of magnetic mirror confined plasmas for a neutron source. We consider parameter variations from the currently operating symmetric mirror plasma trap GDT in an attempt to optimize the neutron source intensity while minimizing the expense and complications of the system. The combined radial and axial plasma loss rates are analyzed and shown to yield an optimal operational point that minimizes the required auxiliary heating power.
