Abstract :
The Los Alamos National Laboratory Colt facility has been used to create target plasma for magnetized target fusion (MTF). The primary results regarding magnetic field, plasma density, plasma temperature and hot plasma lifetime are summarized and the suitability of these plasma targets for MTF is assessed.
