MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center



 It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into MIT School of Science. (Discuss)
 

The Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a research laboratory for the study of plasma physics and nuclear fusion. Originally the Plasma Fusion Center, it was founded in 1976.

The PSFC consists of five interrelated divisions:

  • Alcator C-Mod Project: Compact, high magnetic field tokamak
  • Fusion Technology and Engineering
  • Physics Research Division
  • Plasma Technology
  • Waves and Beams

Methods of fusing nuclei

Magnetic confinement: – Tokamak – Spheromak – Stellarator – Reversed field pinch – Field-Reversed Configuration – Levitated Dipole
Inertial confinement: – Laser driven – Z-pinch – Bubble fusion (acoustic confinement) – Fusor (electrostatic confinement)
Other forms of fusion: – Muon-catalyzed fusion – Pyroelectric fusion – Migma – Polywell – Dense plasma focus
