Nuclear fusion could actually be on the cusp of commercial viability
Growing investment and collaboration are making nuclear fusion more viable than ever.
Helium line ratio imaging in the C-2W divertor
November 2022 | E. Granstedt | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
A 2D imaging instrument has been designed and deployed on C-2W to study the plasma in the expander divertor by simultaneously measuring three neutral helium spectral lines
Whose line is it anyway? A self-training spectral line identification code for plasma physics experiments
November 2022 | M. Tobin | Journal of Applied Physics | Paper
The process of associating spectral peaks in emission radiation data with particular charge states of specific elements is a common task in
the field of plasma diagnostics in both laboratory and astrophysical settings.
How Inventing Fusion Could Mean a Long-Term Solution for Rising Heating Prices
Ahead of the cold winter weather, there is a rush on heating fuel in Ireland, where people are stockpiling turf logs — a uniquely Irish fuel that is made from dried-out bricks of peat cut from the country’s once extensive boglands.
High-fidelity inference of local impurity profiles in C-2W using Bayesian tomography
November 2022 | M. Nations | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
In C-2W (also called “Norman”), beam-driven field reversed configuration plasmas embedded in a magnetic mirror are produced and
sustained in a steady state.
