One is enhancement of the negative - ion current by optimizing the magnetic configuration for plasma confinement in the ion source.
Researchers found a breakthrough in plasma research: a new plasma confinement state.
Consequently, negative - ion - based NBI are indispensable for recent large - scale plasma confinement devices.
Results of this research can shed light on the physics behind key obstacles to plasma confinement in spherical facilities and on ways to overcome them in future machines.
«The goal is to increase plasma confinement compared with traditional stellarators,» said Gates.
«We also demonstrated that the flowing liquid lithium surface was compatible with high plasma confinement and with reduced recycling of the hydrogen isotope deuterium to an extent previously achieved only with evaporated lithium coatings.
«It could help us understand how turbulence functions as the main cause of leakage of plasma confinement.»
The campaign will also increase the heating power of the stellarator to eight megawatts to enable operation at a higher beta — the ratio of plasma pressure to the magnetic field pressure, a key factor for plasma confinement.
However, increasing the pressure by additional heating to bring the plasma closer to the fusion conditions causes turbulence to become more violent so that plasma confinement is degraded.
Most interestingly, the model predicts a range of trapped electron collisions in spherical tokamaks that can be turbulence - free, thus improving the plasma confinement.
