Food decontamination

December 2015May 2016

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

Here is an overview

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.
