Abstract

A deuterium-helium-3 tandem-mirror burner in two housings that closes on measured efficiencies. Synchrotron reabsorption scales with machine size; the engineering gain is Q_E=1.318 at a 5.44% neutron fraction - low-neutron, never aneutronic. Closure is requirement-class: an end-plug density ratio is the binding open gate, reported as a band under uncertainty. New version (2.0).
