RF-assisted DC single beam plasma generation for multi-beam nuclear fusion

At UOIT, there is extensive research on plasma generation. This paper focuses on RF assisted DC plasma generation. The goal of the research is to increase electron and ion energy and production such that fusion can occur. The high energy ions would overcome the coulomb repulsion barrier energy for f...
