Every number on these pages traces to one of the documents below, either as a value the document prints or as a value the family's repository declares in its place and says so.

Magnetic mirror

Eqs. 3.1–3.7 and §3.6: collisional time-scales, confinement scalings, FLR criterion, adiabaticity; the mirror ratio of eq. 3.6.

S. Frank et al., Confinement performance predictions for a high field axisymmetric tandem mirror, J. Plasma Phys. 91 (2025) E110 (CC BY 4.0)

Eqs. 2.3–2.5 loss boundary; eqs. 3.2–3.7 and 4.3 tandem confinement (Rognlien & Cutler 1980 for the flow-through time).

Levitated dipole

D. T. Garnier et al., Fusion Engineering and Design 81 (2006) 2371

The LDX floating coil (560 kg, 0.68 m centroid diameter, 716 turns, 1820 A, \(L_F\) 0.389 H, \(M_{CF}\) 1.69 H, charging coil maximum 425 A), the worked charging case (300 A → 930 kA-turns), the 6.4 GHz resonance at 0.23 T, 5 kW heating, \(p_\perp\) 750 Pa, \(\beta\) 21 %, anisotropy 5, \(\gamma = 5/3\), levitation separation 1.610 m, 5 m vessel.

Magnetic cusp

No filed physics source yet

The cusp core implements no level-0 physics; its configuration and diagnostic declarations are anchored on the family standard and the pinned SPO catalogues only.

Governing documents of the group

SCPN Reactor Family Repository Standard; family repository map; each core's VALIDATION.md and ADR 0005

Boundary, configuration ownership (simple_magnetic_mirror, tandem_mirror, gas_dynamic_mirror, cusp, levitated_dipole), the Polywell assignment to the electrostatic owner, evidence maturity, and the evidence records the pages restate.
