The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...

A high-power (120kV, 60kW) electron-beam welding system has been developed for the first time in the country, paving the way to the domestic production of a local vacuum** high-power electron-beam ...

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-space manufacturing is a big challenge, even with many of the same manufacturing methods being available as on the ground. These methods include rivets, bolts, but also welding, the latter of which ...

Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of a gas in which electrons are no longer bound to atoms, which allows electricity to flow freely. When beams of particles moving close to the speed of ...

Plasma wakefield accelerators have been used to accelerate electron and positron particle beams with gradients that are orders of magnitude larger than those achieved in conventional accelerators. In ...
