Fusion Pioneers Hazel Lowe Thomson Scattering
‘It’s like a fancy speed gun for electrons’, is how our Fusion Pioneer, Dr Hazel Lowe, head of laser and soft x-ray diagnostics, describes our new Thomson Scattering laser diagnostics system.
Hazel explains how firing a laser beam enables us to measure plasma electron temperature and density, and why those are such important factors as we pioneer the way towards a cleaner, sustainable future with energy security for all.
