Plasma Physics
Magnetic Mirror
Definition
Plasma confinement technique using stronger magnetic fields at reactor ends to reflect charged particles back into the confinement area. The "mirror" effect is created by magnetic flux density being highest at the ends. Mirror machines were built and tested from the 1950s through the 1980s as an alternative to tokamaks.
