Technology Description:

Build and calibrate a portable diagnostic for measuring ion energies in potentially transformative fusion-power projects. The passive charge-exchange stripping-cell ion energy analyzer (SC-IEA), will have the sensitivity to measure ion temperatures from ½ to 30 M°C, unraveling processes in these research devices that heat and cool their fusion-relevant plasmas.
