ID: magnum-psi
Summary
World's most powerful steady-state plasma source at DIFFER. Plasma-wall interaction studies for ITER and DEMO.
Deep Dive Analysis
Intelligence Summary: Magnum-PSI
Node Identity: Magnum-PSI is a entity categorized under "MCF" in the netherlands intelligence graph. Linear plasma device at DIFFER for plasma-wall interaction research at fusion-relevant conditions, world-leading facility for divertor materials testing.
Research Evidence: The following findings from 2 research documents reference this entity:
- Thomas Morgan) — Studies power exhaust and plasma-wall interactions using the world-unique Magnum-PSI and UPP linear plasma devices.
- Confidence: ESTABLISHED --- ## L2: Magnum-PSI — World-Unique Fusion Plasma-Wall Interaction Facility ### Finding: DIFFER operates Magnum-PSI, the world's only laboratory facility capable of reproducing the extreme plasma conditions expected at the ITER divertor wall, achieving world-record plasma exposure fluences equivalent to a full year of ITER operation.
- Magnum-PSI is a 15-meter linear plasma generator that uses a cascaded arc plasma source to produce hot, dense plasma guided to a target by a superconducting magnet (operational since 2017).
Strategic Relevance: Magnum-PSI is a tracked entity within the netherlands network. With 2 documented connections to other entities, this node plays a supporting role in the network topology.
Network Linkage: This entity maintains 2 documented connections in the intelligence network: Magnum-PSI complements TU/e Pulsed Power; DIFFER operates Magnum-PSI.
