SUMMARY:WHAM: The Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror\, Plasma Physics (
 Physics/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Cary Forest\, Prager Professor of Experi
 mental Physics\, Director of the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Recent physics breakthroughs\, critical technological adva
 nces\, and an attractive set of near term applications make the axisym
 metric mirror ripe for new investment. A public-private partnership (U
 W Madison\, MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems) has been formed to bu
 ild and operate a compact\, high-field simple mirror that will retire 
 the physics risks of sustaining good  confinement and MHD stability an
 d the key technology risk of building the high field magnets needed to
  take the next big step along the mirror line. Success would qualify t
 he design of a low cost BEAT (Break-Even Axisymmetric Tandem) experime
 nt and offer a simpler and more economical approach to fusion energy t
 han offered in conventional toroidal schemes.
