Mirror based fusion neutron source: Current status and prospective

The paper presents a recent progress in experimental studies and status of numerical simulations of the mirror based fusion neutron source developed by the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Novosibirsk, Russia) and its possible applications including a fusion material test facility and a fusion-fission hybrid system. Current research activity is supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project N 14-50-00080).
