Description/Abstract:
DESIGNS OF NEW MAGNETIC CONFIGURATION...PHOTO SHOWS A SINGLE LOOP COND UCTOR LOCATED AT THE LRL LIVERMORE. THE CONDUCTOR SHAPE CORRESPONDING TO THE SEAM ON A BASEBALL PRODUCES A MINIMUM-B MAGNETIC FIELD. THIS FIELD SHAPE IS PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR USE WITH THE NEUTRAL INJECTIO N METHOD OF FORMING A PLASMA. THE RESULTING MAGNETIC WELL IS OF THE T YPE WHICH HAS BEEN USED TO STABILIZE FLUTE INSTABILITIES. THIS FIELD SHAPE ALSO PROVIDES A MEANS OF TRAPPING IONS WITH A WIDE SPREAD IN DIR ECTION WITH RELATION TO MAGNETIC FLUX LINES. SUCH A DISTRUBUTION IS D ESIRABLE IF ANOTHER CLASS OF INSTABILILTIES THE MICRO-INSTABILITIES AR E TO BE AVOIDED.
