Fusion research with STOR-M tokamak and synthesis of carbon nano-structures

等离子体物理实验室的聚变研究集中在STOR-M托卡马克上，这是一个甜甜圈形的环形磁约束装置，设计和建造用于托卡马克物理和技术发展的基础研究，包括紧凑环注入，电流驱动的磁螺旋注入，异常传输和新的托卡马克操作方案。托卡马克稳定性和异常输运的理论和计算研究的最终目标是开发具有经济竞争力的聚变反应堆与高β和稳态运行的实验方案得到证实。(Beta是由磁压力归一化的等离子体压力。）托卡马克的性能可以通过调整等离子体电流和压力的径向分布来提高，CT注入有可能实现这一点。STOR-M是加拿大唯一的托卡马克，它继续为学生和PDF提供先进聚变科学的培训机会，这对保持和促进加拿大的专业知识至关重要。

Fusion research in the Plasma Physics Laboratory is centered at the STOR-M tokamak, a doughnut shaped toroidal magnetic confinement device designed and built for basic studies of tokamak physics and technology development including Compact Torus injection, magnetic helicity injection for current drive, anomalous transport, and novel tokamak operation scenarios. The experimental program is corroborated by theoretical and computational studies on tokamak stability and anomalous transport with an ultimate objective of developing economically competitive fusion reactors with high beta and steady state operation. (Beta is the plasma pressure normalized by the magnetic pressure.) Tokamak performance can be improved by tailoring radial profiles of plasma current and pressure and CT injection has a potential to achieve it. STOR-M is the only tokamak in Canada and it continues to provide students and PDFs with training opportunities in advanced fusion science which is vital for maintaining and furthering Canadian expertise.
