Sentences with phrase «new plasma confinement»

Not exact matches

And because we can link confinement improvement to further enhancement of plasma performance, new developments in research are anticipated.

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.
