Target chamber magnetic fields in pellet fusion reactors

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7211566
Stray magnetic fields are expected to be generated by various mechanisms following a fusion pellet explosion in a reactor target chamber. These fields, which would be partially trapped in the chamber between explosions, may present a complication for the accurate aiming of focussed low atomic weight ion beams on to a target pellet. Multi-GeV heavy ion beams in moderate charge states have the advantage of being less sensitive to this aspect of the pellet environment.
