Kinetic Optimization of Magnetic Mirror Confinement: Beyond Classical Loss-Cone Theory
In a reduced drift-kinetic mirror model, optimizing the magnetic field for electrons alone yields a centrally peaked double-well profile, while the coupled electron-ion system recovers the classical boundary-peaked mirror.
