Project Matterhorn Publications and Reports, 1951-1958
Abstract
Project Matterhorn was the code name for the controlled thermonuclear research effort started by Princeton University in 1951 under the leadership of Lyman Spitzer. In 1951, Spitzer outlined the basic concept for creating the stellarator, a device for confining and heating ionized hydrogen gas to release fusion energy for the production of power.
