    Plasma Science and Fusion Center

    Plasma Science and Fusion Center Overview MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) is known internationally as a leading university research center for the study of plasma and fusion science and technology with research activities in five major areas: 1. The science of magnetically confined plasmas in the development of fusion energy, in particular the Alcator C-Mod tokamak project. 2. The basic physics of plasmas including magnetic reconnection experiments on the Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF), plasma-surface interactions, development of novel high-temperature plasma diagnostics, and theoretical plasma physics and fusion science research. 3. The physics of high-energy-density plasmas, including the center’s activity on inertial confinement laser-plasma fusion interactions. 4. The physics of waves and beams (gyrotron and high gradient accelerator research, beam theory development, nonneutral plasmas, and coherent wave generation). 5. A broad program in fusion technology and engineering development that addresses problems in several areas (e.g., magnet systems, superconducting materials, and system studies of fusion reactors), as well as non-fusion-related technology development, mostly in the superconducting magnet area. Administratively, each of these areas constitutes a separate research division. In order of research area above, PSFC’s research divisions are the Alcator Project, Physics Research, High-Energy-Density Physics (HEDP), Waves and Beams, and Fusion Technology and Engineering. Similarly, MIT’s Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory (FBML) is internationally recognized for its advances in several areas of science and engineering involving high magnetic fields, including research in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The lab also is also active in NMR and MRI magnet development and in nanoscience condensed matter physics.

For the first time in 100 years, the Society carried out a major reform of its governance Iand executive structure. The reforms are intended to strengthen APS to meet the challenges facing the Society in the increasingly complex and rapidly evolving world in which we live. The changes also bring us into conformity with the statutes governing nonprofit corporations in Washington DC, where we continue to be incorporated. After a process that gave voice to all elements of our Society from the Executive Board to the Council to the Units and of course to the members, the reforms were approved by an overwhelming positive vote of the membership. This year the Society received the largest single gift in its history from Jay and Mary Jayne Jones of Seattle, Washington.

    DIII-D Researchers Earn Multiple Honors from American Physical

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIII-D Researchers Earn Multiple Honors from American Physical Society Awards recognize pioneering work in plasma physics at fusion facility operated by General Atomics San Diego, CA – July 10, 2018: The American Physical Society (APS) has awarded the two most prestigious prizes in plasma physics to researchers working at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility. The awards were based on research carried out at DIII-D, a U.S. Department of Energy user facility operated by General Atomics (GA). The research represented by these awards have transformed our understanding of fusion plasmas and enabled great advances in tokamak performance and control. GA scientist Keith Burrell won the James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the field. In addition, DIII-D scientists Todd Evans (General Atomics), Max Fenstermacher, (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and Rick Moyer (University of California, San Diego), won the John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research, which recognizes a particular recent outstanding achievement. Burrell’s research at DIII-D over the past 40 years helped develop and validate the theory that explains how hot plasmas in a magnetic field can self-organize to reach improved states of confinement at higher pressures, which are necessary to create fusion. Through an effect called sheared flow, the plasma can be induced to confine itself within the magnetic field. In future self-sustaining fusion devices, these effects will lead to greater fusion power than would otherwise be possible. Evans, Fenstermacher, and Moyer were honored for experiments proving that instabilities in fusion plasmas known as edge localized modes (ELMs) can be stabilized by finely tuning the three-dimensional magnetic field.
