Suitable for: 3rd Year, PhB, Honours, PhD/Masters, Vacation Scholars
Apply machine learning techniques to assessment of the data quality in plasma fusion experiments, such as the H-1 Heliac.
Suitable for: 3rd Year, PhB, Honours, PhD/Masters, Vacation Scholars
Datamining techniques extract information from H-1 essential to understanding instabilities that threaten the viability of fusion as the ultimate clean energy source.
Suitable for: Honours, PhD/Masters
Fast imaging systems synchronously locked to the frequency of fluctuations in the H-1 plasma will be used to identify the nature of the instabilities and their driving mechanisms.
Suitable for: 3rd Year, PhB, Honours, PhD/Masters, Vacation Scholars
Using a small electron beam, trace the magnetic field lines in H-1, to investigate changes in magnetic geometry, transition to chaos.
