plasma diagnostic toolkits

Plasma diagnostic toolkits are collections of instruments used by scientists to study plasmas—hot, ionized gases found in stars, fusion reactors, and space. These tools measure properties like temperature, density, and magnetic fields within the plasma. Techniques include spectroscopy (analyzing light emitted by the plasma), probes (small devices inserted into the plasma), and magnetic sensors. Together, these tools help researchers understand plasma behavior, optimize controlled fusion efforts, and explore space phenomena, providing vital insights into highly energetic and complex states of matter.
