This lab is used for training and education by local bachelor, master, and high school students.
In this experiment, basic wave phenomena like ion acoustic waves and the transition of these waves into the non-linear regime can be investigated.
One of the largest tokamaks in the world, this device also boasts the only set of actively-cooled plasma-facing components.
In this low-temperature device, master and doctoral students can explore turbulence, transport, plasma-wave interactions, and more.
Read about the remote framework at the Instituto Superior Técnico for completing plasma experiments.
Two different types of electrical probes, the single Langmuir probe and the double Langmuir probe, are used to investigate the plasma parameters in a glow discharge depending on external control parameters.
Students can use a single Langmuir probe to determine the electron temperature and density in a glow discharge.
Read about opportunities for graduate students to work on one of two fusion devices hosted at this institute.
The IPP RF laboratory consists of a series of experiments aiming at familiarizing students with high frequency transmission lines and high power radio frequency technology.
Argon plasma in a cylindrical device
This lab consists of 10 different plasma experiments as part of the university's programme 'Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion'.
With FuseNet funding, this university now hosts a number of hands-on experiments with access provided to local and Erasmus students.
This experiment can offer insight into fusion reactions and diagnostic techniques, as well as serve as a neutron source.
With the only operational Q-machine in Europe, students can investigate an extremely quiescent alkaline plasma as well as various instabilities.
