• Electrostatic Orbitron Fusion Reactor: Overview of Scientific Program

  ORAL

  Nov. 3, 2023, 11:18 AM – Nov. 3, 2023, 11:30 AM

  Publication: There is a planned APS Journal of Plasma Physics paper that will likely be submitted by the time of the APS DPP Conference in Denver. Contents will be on theoretical and particle-in-cell modelling of the Orbitron which this talk will summarize. Also we are submitting a number of posters to APS DPP 2023 (Denver) and this talk may include some summaries of those results as well.
