We consider the influence on plasma recombination of the formation of negative and
molecular ions in a divertor plasma. We take into account different atomic processes …

A magnetized hydrogen plasma beam was generated with a cascaded arc, expanding in a
vacuum vessel at an axial magnetic field of up to 1.6 T⁠. Its characteristics were measured …

Molecular activated recombination (MAR) has been clearly observed for the first time in a
divertor plasma simulator. A small amount of hydrogen gas puffing into a helium plasma …

On the basis of a generalized collisional-radiative, atomic-molecular model we have
calculated the effective rate coefficient for plasma recombination taking into account the …

The plasma chemistry of an argon/hydrogen expanding thermal arc plasma in interaction
with silane injected downstream is analyzed using mass spectrometry. The dissociation …

As the most abundant molecule in the universe, collisions involving H2 have important
implications in astrochemistry. Collisions between hydrogen molecules also represent a …

Tin (Sn) is an attractive option for a liquid metal wall material for future fusion reactors.
Control of tritium inventory is key for the successful operation of these reactors, but little data …

An advanced Thomson scattering system has been built for a linear plasma generator for
plasma surface interaction studies. The Thomson scattering system is based on a Nd: YAG …

A supersonically expanding argon cascaded arc plasma, with different amounts of hydrogen
added (0, 0.7, and 1.4 vol% H 2), was studied using Thomson-Rayleigh scattering and …

Optical emission and absorption spectroscopy and double Langmuir probe diagnostics have
been applied to measure the plasma parameters of an expanding magnetized hydrogen …
