High Beta Plasma
TECHNOLOGY HISTORICAL // R&D
01 Executive_Summary
A state where the plasma pressure is nearly equal to the magnetic pressure (β≈1). The 1967 Topical Conference on this subject featured foundational debates on trapped reverse field configurations. This regime is the defining characteristic of the Compact Fusion Reactor (CFR), enabling high power density but requiring advanced stability controls like those debated by Green, Newton, and Kaleck.
