Fusion Event: FIA/ARPA-E Capability Teams “Lighting Round” Event
On July 22, ARPA-E and Fusion Industry Association co-hosted a virtual Lightning Round. The event consisted of three sessions with Capability Teams funded by ARPA-E giving short presentations to the FIA Membership.
The event provided an efficient way for FIA members to receive information about the teams and capabilities, and ask questions and make connections for detailed follow-up. If there is interest, FIA Members should contact the teams directly about opportunities to work together.
Session 1: Diagnostics for plasma parameters
- LLNL/UCSD, Simon Bott-Suzuki (UCSD) (for Clement Goyon, LLNL), A Portable Thomson Scattering System to Measure Plasma Density and Temperature
- ORNL, Ted Biewer (ORNL), Portable Diagnostic Package
- PPPL, Sam Cohen (PPPL), Ion energy analyzer (IEA)
- ORNL, Elijah Martin (ORNL), Doppler-Free Saturation Spectroscopy (DFSS)
- UC-Davis, Neville Luhmann (UC, Davis), Ultrashort Pulse Reflectometer
Session 2 Diagnostics for neutrons and photons
- LANL, Glen Wurden (LANL), Soft X-ray, EUV spectroscopy, neutron, and fast-imaging diagnostics
