TL;DR: This Letter presents results from the first fully integrated experiments testing the magnetized liner inertial fusion concept, indicating significant fuel magnetization given that the estimated radial areal density of the plasma is only 2 mg = cm(2).

TL;DR: The magnetized liners inertial fusion (MagLIF) concept was introduced by Slutz and Vesey as mentioned in this paper, which is in the class of magneto-inertial fusion targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A method to diagnose fuel magnetization using the ratio of overall deuterium-tritium to deuterum-deuterium neutron yields is developed and is applied to recent MIF experiments, indicating that significant magnetic confinement of charged burn products was achieved and suggesting a relatively low-mix environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed conceptual designs of two petawatt-class pulsed-power accelerators: Z 300 and Z 800, which are based on an accelerator architecture that is founded on two concepts: single-stage electrical-pulse compression and impedance matching.
Journal ArticleDOI
