  In this paper, we explore magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) [S. A.
Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)] using a semi-analytic model [R.
D. McBride and S. A. Slutz, Phys. Plasmas 22, 052708 (2015)]. Specifically, we
present simulation results from this model that: (a) illustrate the parameter
space, energetics, and overall system efficiencies of MagLIF; (b) demonstrate
the dependence of radiative loss rates on the radial fraction of the fuel that
is preheated; (c) explore some of the recent experimental results of the MagLIF
program at Sandia National Laboratories [M. R. Gomez et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.
113, 155003 (2014)]; (d) highlight the experimental challenges presently facing
the MagLIF program; and (e) demonstrate how increases to the preheat energy,
fuel density, axial magnetic field, and drive current could affect future
MagLIF performance.
