PPPL applies quantum theory and Einstein's special relativity to plasma physics issues

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have developed a theory of plasma waves that can infer these properties in greater detail than in standard approaches. The new research analyzes the plasma surrounding the pulsar by coupling Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, which describes the motion of subatomic particles such as the atomic nuclei -- or ions -- and electrons in plasma.

PPPL physicist conducts experiments indicating efficiency of fusion start-up technique

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Physicist Fatima Ebrahimi at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Princeton University has for the first time performed computer simulations indicating the efficiency of a start-up technique for doughnut-shaped fusion machines known as tokamaks. The simulations show that the technique, known as coaxial helicity injection, could also benefit tokamaks that use superconducting magnets.
