Abstract
Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) is a magneto-inertial fusion concept currently being investigated on Sandia's Z facility. In MagLIF an axial magnetic field of 10–30 T is applied to the cold fusion fuel, which is contained in a cm-scale beryllium can, called a liner. The fuel is then heated by a few-kJ, TW-class laser to around 100 eV, The current from the Z machine flows axially through the liner, causing it to implode. The magnetized, laser-heated fuel is compressed and heated to multi-keV temperatures.
