Title: High-temperature plasma physics

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5093874· OSTI ID:5093874

Both magnetic and inertial confinement research are entering the plasma parameter range of fusion reactor interest. This paper reviews the individual and common technical problems of these two approaches to the generation of thermonuclear plasmas, and describes some related applications of high-temperature plasma physics.
