"Colleagues,
Dr. Jaeyoung Park, President of EMC2, will give a talk on recent
cusp-confinement experiments in one of their Polywell devices. A
flyer is attached.
Date: Monday, June 16
Time: 2:30 PM
Location: 106 ERB
Abstract:
56 years ago, Harold Grad and his team at New Your University
conjectured (and to some extent calculated) that the confinement
properties of a magnetic cusp would be dramatically improved if the
confined plasma had sufficiently high pressure to exclude the B-field
from the interior. We have carried out an experiment that
demonstrates, for the first time in 56 years, that this effect is
real. This has dramatic implications for the future of cusp confined
fusion.
Regards.
John"
