A Plan to Reclaim Deuterons Escaping from the Loss Cone of a Magnetic Mirror

¹ Soft Creator Company, Kyoto, Japan

Abstract

Research on magnetic mirror reactors has had two serious problems since the beginning stage. One is the magnetohydrodynamic instability due to the negative curvature of the magnetic field lines around the center region of a mirror bottle. Another is the loss of charged particles escaping from the loss cone of a magnetic mirror. We have continued to inquire into a means to solve the latter problem. We here propose a new way which will be able to make a magnitude of a loss angle of a magnetic mirror for deuterons virtually zero.
