What Wikipedia says

A magnetic mirror, also known as a magnetic trap or sometimes as a pyrotron, is a type of magnetic confinement fusion device used in fusion power to trap high-temperature plasma using magnetic fields. The mirror was one of the earliest major approaches to fusion power, along with the stellarator and Z-pinch machines.
