The report was sent out to dues paying members yesterday.
Topics include:
- LPP formally organizes Board of Advisors
- Symmetry solutions to support greater fusion yield Tungsten pins identified as a cause of asymmetry in firing, resulting in lower-than-expected fusion yields. Continuous knife-edge, previously produced, is ready for installation in June. Soot contamination also to be improved.
- Micro-filaments in beams confirm 100-micron plasmoid radius
- Insulator breakdown cause identified. Reinforcement will be completed in June for planned firing with 12 switches up to 45 kV in July
New record beams bode well for applications
Microbeam scars bolster 100-micron radius of plasmoids
