Spherical compression of an applied magnetic field in inertial confinement fusion
R. Spiers, A. Bose, C. A. Frank +4
Applying an external magnetic field to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions is a promising approach for enhancing fusion yield. The field is compressed with the plas…

Magnetized ICF implosions: Non-axial magnetic field topologies
C. A. Walsh, D. J. Strozzi, A. Povilus +7
This paper explores 4 different magnetic field topologies for application to spherical inertial confinement fusion implosions: axial, mirror, cusp and closed field lines. A mirror…
