Abstract

ZETA is an experimental apparatus for studying the pinched ring discharge as a possible method of producing controlled thermonuclear power. The principle of this method is that the self-magnetic field of the discharge current isolates the plasma from the walls of the discharge tube. The present paper reports the principal mechanical and electrical parameters, the performance as an electrical circuit, and our present knowledge of the physical characteristics of the plasma.
