Confinement of plasma in a magnetic bottle induced by circularly polarized laser light
- Plasma Physics Soreq Nuclear Research Center, Yavne 70600 (Israel)
A concept of plasma confinement using a combination of inertial and magnetic methods is suggested. A miniature magnetic bottle with the megagauss field can be induced by circularly polarized laser radiation inside a good conductor vessel containing a plasma. The laser pulses also heat the plasma to {similar_to}5 KeV during a few nanoseconds. The Lawson criteria for a DT plasma might be satisfied for densities of the order 5{center_dot}10{sup 21} cm{sup {minus}3} and confinement time about 20 nsec.(AIP) {copyright}{ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics} 1994
