Argon plasma in a cylindrical device
Students can use a single Langmuir probe to determine the electron temperature and density in a glow discharge.
One of the largest tokamaks in the world, this device also boasts the only set of actively-cooled plasma-facing components.
In this experiment, basic wave phenomena like ion acoustic waves and the transition of these waves into the non-linear regime can be investigated.
Read about opportunities for graduate students to work on one of two fusion devices hosted at this institute.
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.
With the only operational Q-machine in Europe, students can investigate an extremely quiescent alkaline plasma as well as various instabilities.
This lab consists of 10 different plasma experiments as part of the university's programme 'Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion'.
