For heating plasma in fusion devices, researchers unravel how electrons respond to neutral beam injection

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, particle physics

Heating a plasma for fusion research requires megawatts of power. One approach that research tokamaks use to achieve the necessary power input is neutral beam injection (NBI). With NBI, fast neutral particles are generated in a device called a beam source and then injected into the plasma.
