MAGNETIC END CLOSURES FOR CONTROLLED FUSION REACTORS
ABS>A multiple reflector field closure for containing charged particles and used for controlling an open-ended thermonuclear reactor is described. The device is provided with magnetic field generating means for generating an axially symmetrical magnetic field in the central region of the device and plasma source means are disposed to establish a plasma radially restrained by the fieid in the center region of the device. Coaxial solenoid means are located at or adjacent opposite ends of the device, each of which solenoid means is arranged to produce, when energized, a number of axially spaced reflector field regions of increased magnetic intensity at the ends of the field in the central region of the device thereby defining trapping cell regions of reduced magnetic intensity between adjacent reflector field regions such that axial losses of charged particles from the central region of the device are redruced to a minimum by the regions.
