Plasma accelerators utilise electromagnetic forces to propel ionised gases at high speeds, offering a unique platform to study both controlled laboratory phenomena and astrophysical events. Recent ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...

In a nonequilibrium plasma, the electrons behave very differently from the heavy species, for example having a much higher temperature. In the systems we study in NGPDL, there may be further forms of ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...
