DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

Investigation is carried out on the effect of the ponderomotive force on the interchange mode, which determines the basic operation regime of the Hanbit mirror machine. This effect is calculated using the electrical field profile obtained by an RF heating code with a real antenna geometry. In the calculation of the ponderomotive force, the effects of the trapped particles in the mirror geometry and the plasma temperature anisotropy are also considered.
