In plasma physics, plasma confinement refers to the restriction of energy and particle transport from a plasma in order to maintain its temperature and density for a finite time.[1] The two principal approaches to confinement are magnetic confinement, in which electromagnetic fields are used to contain and control the plasma, and inertial confinement, in which rapid compression of a fuel target confines the plasma for a brief duration through its own inertia.
