Swiss plasma center (EPFL) and Helyssen are studying large area atmospheric plasma sources for food decontamination.

Novel Helicon Plasma source for Neutral beam injection

November 2015January 2018

Helyssen has designed a novel Helicon Plasma source for Neutral beam injection to be used in a future fusion reactor (Tokamak type). This experiment is part of the DEMO (fusion) project in Cadarache.

Helyssen’s source is described in the attached published paper on page 9.
