Christofilos conceives strong-focusing principle for accelerators
Patented 1950. Rediscovered by Brookhaven 1952. Revolutionized accelerators. Weapons application proposed by Wilson.
Project Sherwood established
The U.S. AEC's classified controlled-fusion program begins at LANL and partner labs.
Christofilos begins Astron experiment at LLNL
Greek engineer starts E-layer field reversal concept. Earliest compact torus conception. Presented at 1958 Geneva.
Astron Program at LLNL
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory operates the Astron program to achieve stable field reversal using linear induction accelerators.
Christofilos Astron experiment at LLNL
The Astron experiment established the field-reversed configuration geometry that prefigured modern FRC research.
LDRD Funding Established at LANL
The Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program is established to fund forefront science relevant to NNSA and DOE missions.
Discovery of FRC Anomalous Stability
Experiments at LANL discover that Field-Reversed Configurations (FRCs) are significantly more stable than predicted by MHD theory.
Astron experiment funding cancelled at LLNL
16-year project ends without achieving field reversal. Compact torus concept disperses to spheromak and FRC research.
