Multiple-mirror trap: a path from Budker magnetic mirrors to linear fusion reactora Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, prosp. akad. Lavrenteva 11, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russian Federation b Department of Physics, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation c Novosibirsk State University, ul. Pirogova 2, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russian Federation This review is focused on multiple-mirror traps for high-temperature plasma confinement that were proposed by Budker, Mirnov and Ryutov and independently by Logan, Lichtenberg and Lieberman in the early 1970s. The proposed magnetic system solved problems with the kinetic instabilities of classical open traps and significantly increased the plasma lifetime. The history, achievements and prospects of the field are discussed.
