Executive Summary
Produced by Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1996, this report details computational and experimental research into Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), an approach intermediate between magnetic and inertial confinement. The study evaluates candidate target plasmas, specifically the Russian-originated 'MAGO' scheme and deuterium-fiber-initiated Z-pinches, for their potential to achieve controlled fusion using inexpensive electrical pulsed power.
