LPP members Yevgen Kazakov and Jef Ongena collaborated to a new article on Deuterium-Tritium plasma physics published in September 2024 in the prestigious journal “Nature Communications”. The paper is called Stable Deuterium-Tritium plasmas with improved confinement in the presence of energetic-ion instabilities and is available in open-access from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52182-z.
Read MoreIn a major scientific achievement, European researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility have set a new world energy record of 69 megajoules released in sustained and controlled fusion energy. This result was achieved as part of an experimental campaign to test operating scenarios for future fusion machines under conditions as close as possible […]
Read MoreOn Wednesday 11/05 Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium visited UKAEA Science Center in Oxford. The tour was arranged as part of the Belgian Economic Mission, the first of its kind since Brexit and the pandemic, and raised the importance of fusion energy in delivering an environmentally responsible future energy supply. Twenty-six representatives from […]
Read MoreA paper from Dirk Van Eester, Ernesto Lerch and co-authors has been recently accepted for publication in the journal “Plasmas Physics and Controlled Fusion“. This paper is entitled “Maximising D−T fusion power by optimising the plasma composition and beam choice in JET” and focuses on the heating aspects and was intended to give a qualitative […]
