Advanced Plasma Energy Research Section

概要

The current subjects of this research section are to
study the properties of high-temperature plasmas in
order to control and improve the plasma energy confinement from the physical viewpoint of nuclear fusion research. The experimental and theoretical investigations for optimizing the helical-axis heliotron configuration are in progress under collaboration with
other groups of international/national institutes and
groups of other universities under the auspices of the
Collaboration Program of the Lab. Complex Energy
Processes, IAE, and the Collaborative Research Program of NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science).
In this report, a remarkable result obtained in the
Heliotron J experimental study in FY2020 is reported
focusing on transport characteristics regarding magnetic configurations, including the magnetic island effect, especially in (1) Transport analysis for high electron temperature plasmas fueled by high-intensity gas
puffing and (2) development of multichannel 320 GHz
interferometer system. ...
