This book delves into the realm of plasma confinement within magnetic fields, specifically focusing on "cusped" geometries, where magnetic field lines converge to form pointed structures. The author explores a particular configuration that utilizes cusped magnetic field lines to contain plasma, examining the losses of particles through these cusps. A velocity space loss criterion analogous to the widely recognized "loss cone" in mirror machines is derived. The author also investigates the effect of a uniform longitudinal magnetic field perpendicular to the confining field, which is found to decrease cusp losses. By presenting a generalized adiabatic invariant for charged particle motion and applying it to the specific geometry under consideration, the author provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics involved in cusped geometries. This book expands our knowledge of plasma containment and adds to the body of research on controlled thermonuclear fusion, offering fresh insights for scientists and researchers in the field.
