CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR RESEARCH PROGRAM QUARTERLY STATUS REPORT OF THE LASL FOR PERIOD ENDING NOVEMBER 20, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4813009
Measurements of the coaxial gun output, the injection process, and characteristics of the trapped plasma were continued in the Mark ll (Bakeable Picket Fence) experiment. Results and discussion are also included on the Caulked Picket Fence and Resonant Helix experiments. Development of a new principle for building fast magnetic coils is reported. The coils have no feed point asymmetry and are capable of voltage multiplication from the energizing capacitor bank to the plasma. Other work is reported on plasma experiments without applied electric fields, and on development of capacitor bank systems. (J.R.D.)
