Neutral Beam Diagnostics

Neutral Beam Diagnostics is a technique used to study plasma, the superheated gas found in fusion reactors and stars. It involves directing neutral beams of particles into the plasma. When these particles interact with the plasma, they provide valuable information about its temperature, density, and behavior. By analyzing how the neutral beams change as they pass through the plasma, scientists can understand its properties and improve fusion energy research. This diagnostic method is crucial for developing efficient fusion energy, which could provide a sustainable energy source for the future.
