High Beta Experiments in the GDT Axisymmetric Magnetic Mirror

This paper reports recent results from the Gas Dynamic Trap magnetic mirror device. Achieving plasma betas up to 60% provides a basis for extrapolating this concept to a fusion relevant 14 MeV neutron source for testing and validating materials applicable to fusion systems.
