Complex Plasma Systems Research Section

概要

Nuclear fusion energy has some attractive features
as a future option for the base-load electrical power
source. Magnetic field confinement fusion research is
thus being conducted all over the world. To realize fusion reactor, there are however several urgent issues
that need to be resolved, for example (1) improvement
of plasma energy confinement, (2) enhancement of
fueling ability, (3) exhaust ash and impurities. We are
tackling these issues by understanding their physical
processes by experiment using a magnetic confinement device Heliotron J.
Results in FY2022 featured in this report are about
the plasma fluctuation and magnetic configuration
control which are regarded as key issues for characterizing the heat transport and improvement of the control ability of confinement in fusion-relevant magnetized plasmas. ...
