(DPP) W2-9 Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas (DPP)
- Stephan Reuter (Polytechnique Montreal)
Description
Recent Advances in Plasma Physics and Technology (DPP) - Plasma physics and technology is set out to change how we live. For example, plasmas are used for dry reforming of CO2 and for generation of renewable fuels and green fertilizer. Plasmas can remove forever chemicals and plasma reactors for fusion based energy promise to be the source of green energy. The symposium will present recent advances in plasma physics research in plasma modelling, diagnostics, and reactor design of thermal and non-thermal plasmas.
STOR-M tokamak design was conceived in early 1980s in the Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL) at the University of Saskatchewan, and the first discharge was achieved in 1987. It is currently the only tokamak in Canada. STOR-M has accumulated more than 360000 discharges and remains active for the purpose of research and training. STOR-M has made many original contributions to tokamak confinement...
Tungsten (W) is considered the optimal choice for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion devices due to its high melting point, excellent mechanical properties, and minimal erosion rate. However, studies have shown that W undergoes extreme morphological change when it is bombarded by a high fluence of low-energy ions from helium (He) and deuterium (D) plasmas. To maintain W properties, its...
Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is a powerful diagnostic technique with the capability to provide bulk ion temperature and ion composition of plasma with high temporal and spatial resolution. It has been developed in many fusion devices such as ASDEX, TEXTOR, W7-X, and ITER etc.
CTS is the elastic scattering process of electromagnetic waves by electrons with collective motions. For CTS...
