Work Packages

The research´s 5 Work Packages (WP)

The research is divided into 5 Work Packages (WP)

WP1: Magnetic field
Design tandem magnetic fields that enable ambipolar plug and ponderomotive plugging of plasma

WP2: Ambipolar plug
Creation of ambipolar plug by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH)and Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) to increase energy confinement time, τE.

WP3: Ponderomotive plug
Creation of ponderomotive plug by radio frequency (RF) electrodes in order to increase energy confinement time, τE.

WP4: Diagnostics
Define diagnostics for measuring energy confinement time.

WP5: Gamma model
Plasma simulations with Particle-in-cell (PIC) code. The studies will be focused on energy confinement time - τE - maintaining a stable plasma.
