The inactivation of Bacillus atrophaeus spores by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma in atmospheric humid air was investigated in order to develop a low-temperature, low-cost, and high-speed plasma sterilization technique. The biological ...

A new concept of particle fueling method is proposed, and its feasibility is studied by a Monte Carlo simulation; by using a compact torus (CT) injection technique and subsequent neutralization of an accelerated CT plasma, ultrahigh-speed neutral-...

A compact-sized magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG) with a single discharge stage is developed in order to simulate transient heat loads such as type I edge-localized modes (ELMs) in ITER. The MCPG produces hydrogen plasmas with an electron densi...
Kink instability and the subsequent plasma flow during the sustainment of a coaxial gun spheromak are investigated by three-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Analysis of the parallel current density λ profile in the central op...
