Sentences with phrase «high energy density plasma»

The laser technique the scientists are using is new in the area of high energy density plasma and allows scientists to control the magnetic field to manipulate it in various ways.

DOE previously funded such approaches through a program called High Energy Density Plasma (HEDP).

He was cited «for many outstanding contributions to the theoretical plasma physics of low and high energy density plasmas, open and closed magnetic configurations, and laboratory and astrophysical systems.»

At Sandia National Laboratory, Myers works on the Z machine, the world's most powerful pulsed - power facility and x-ray generator, which produces high energy density plasmas that are used to study fusion and the physics of nuclear weapons.

Aiming for the achievement of fusion energy, research on confining a high temperature, high density plasma in a magnetic field is being conducted around the world.

This is because the extreme density of the plasma gives rise to quantum effects, while the high energy density of the magnetic field gives rise to relativistic effects, says Shi.

These promising new directions include higher fusion power densities, and hence smaller reactors; development of «transport barriers» in the plasma, leading to improved energy confinement and smaller sizes; self - driven plasma currents that permit steady - state operation and low recirculating power; and the development of advanced divertor concepts to provide particle control and heat removal over long reactor lifetimes.
