NSF funds our work on“Understanding of neutral particle physics to generate a helicon wave driven high density laboratory plasma” as NSF-CAREER award.
–News: 2015-05-06
Helicon plasma was successfully established in the new Madison AWAKE Prototype (MAP) device!
In the course of the last days, a one-year-long construction process has cumulated in the breakdown of a helicon plasma. This plasma state, driven by a specific radio-frequency wave that propagates in magnetized plasma, features …
Graphene Coating on polycrystalline Tungsten was explored in multi-institutional work led by post-doctoral researcher Xavier Navarro-Gonzales in 3D-PSI group!
One of the most elusive challenges when talking about fusion reactors, is the selection of an appropriate material for plasma-facing components. Significant resources and experimental programs have been dedicated to the study of tungsten and …
