Continuing progress toward fusion energy breakeven and gain as measured against the Lawson criteria

Abstract

This paper is an update to our earlier paper ''Progress toward fusion energy breakeven and gain as measured against the Lawson criterion'' [Phys. Plasmas 29, 062103 (2022)]. Plots of Lawson parameter and triple product vs. ion temperature and triple product vs. date achieved are updated with recently published experimental results. A new plot of scientific energy gain vs. date achieved is included. Additionally, notes on new experimental results, clarifications, and a correction are included.

15 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables. This replacement includes minor adjustments and corrections to citations and addition of an acknowledgement
