Magnetized target

A magnetised plasma target compressed mechanically or by an imploding liner. Sits between magnetic and inertial confinement in density and timescale. The main open problem is compressing the liner onto the plasma symmetrically and fast enough to reach fusion conditions before the plasma cools or the liner breaks up.
