Here is an overview
Helyssen
Helyssen has published two new articles in Plasma Sources Science and Technology about “Complex image method for RF antenna-plasma inductive coupling calculation in planar geometry”.
Part I: basic concepts and Part II: measurements on a resonant network
Swiss TV report on Fusion. Visit of the EPFL Tokamak fusion reactor. Helyssen Helicon experiment for DEMO visible in operation! (minute 5:10)
First promising results of the helicon plasma generator showing inductive and helicon regimes at low power for DEMO/Eurofusion project.
Helyssen is developping
Here is a Brief overview of Helyssen ICP sources and its industrial applications presented at Berlin EPS conference.
Dr Hollenstein (CRPP/EPFL) received the Innovation Award 2014 from the European physical society.
Find attached his vision about industrial plasmas where Helyssen sources are quoted as future technologies.
