Executive Summary

This 1990 report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory describes the development and experimental testing of a coaxial rail-gun type Compact Torus Accelerator (CTA). The authors demonstrate the successful acceleration of plasma rings in the RACE device and explore the potential for using high-energy focused toruses as efficient, low-cost drivers for inertial confinement fusion applications.
