The injection of the plasma, produced by the collision of two D plasmas from coaxial guns, into the Scylla magnetic compression device is studied. The plasma formed by the two guns generally has fast and slow components. The neutron production obtalned by trapping each of these components is measured for the cases in whlch the guidlng magnetic field is parallel or antiparallel to the compression field. These measurements are also made using only one of the plasma guns. The use of this plasma injection device is compared with the older Scylla method. (T.F.H.)
