Summary form only given. The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) collaboration with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) collaboration is close to a physics demonstration of compressional heating in a Magneto Inertial Fusion (MIF) plasma target. These first Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) experimen...
