ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

A plasma multi-variable control model is presented about Hefei Superconducting Tokamak (HT-7) with iron core and two thick copper shells. The nonlinear electromagnetic parameters produced by the iron core permeability are linearized by a new approach. Each copper shell is equivalent to two pair of coil in opposite series, its contribution for plasma equilibrium and its screening effect to external field can be expressed by self-inductance and mutual-inductance. The control model has been used in HT-7 plasma control system and the good experiment results have been obtained.
