He joined the fusion office in 1976, working in the Open Systems (
Magnetic Mirror) Branch of the Confinement Systems Division.
But the SLAMS create a kind of
magnetic mirror, causing the solar particles to reflect, attenuating them into one of these field-aligned ion beams, shooting out along magnetic fields back out and away from Earth.
They act as
magnetic mirrors that reflect ions and electrons to keep the plasma in the cylinder, although sufficiently high-velocity particles can escape through the end
magnetic mirror.
This field change also serves as a [THETA]-pinch
magnetic mirror to mitigate the effects of electron backscattering from the detectors.
This
magnetic mirror has an amazing clarity of reflection that allows for perfect application of mascara and lipstick.
There also are "Le Most" Cute Objects ($14), the Mini Window Sill Garden ($14),
Magnetic Mirror and Frame Set ($12), Mini Tea Set ($15), and Rain and Sun Umbrella ($10).
The Board especially notes his technical contributions to the fusion
magnetic mirror program at LLNL, his many analytical assessments of potential fusion non-electric applications and his leadership of the national heavy ion fusion program while at LBNL.
