   just to put my mirror in perspective,  the magnetic mirror   
   has origins in the racetrack microtron . the designers had a   
   double-d design where a continuous track field was   
   given an energy step set of tracks. Of course the design   
   had a ruff time having stable steps. ergo each step   
   was given a focus magnet.   
      
   The project was canceled unfortunately.   
      
   this is just the origin.  you will not be able to infer my   
   path control design, btw.
