Experimental Plasma Physics

We study fast ion loss and plasma instabilities at the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak Upgrade (MAST-U) at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Abingdon, United Kingdom, and at the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey.
