One possible way to obtain a preheated and magnetized plasma suitable for subsequent implosion is the MAGO'' concept. The unique MAGO discharge consists of a two chambers, with electrical current flowing in one chamber accelerating plasma flow into an implosion chamber. Up to 4 [times] 10[sup 13] D-T neutrons have been produced in the MAGO discharge. In this paper, we discuss our computational modeling of MAGO. Our objectives are to characterize the plasma, compare with the limited diagnostics available, and to understand the neutron production. We also discuss, briefly, some other possible means for creating a magnetized plasma
