Princeton-led team develops AI for fusion plasma monitoring
A new AI software tool for monitoring and controlling the plasma inside nuclear fuel systems has been developed by an international collaboration of scientists from Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), Chung-Ang University, Columbia University, and Seoul National University. The software, which the researchers call Diag2Diag, is described in the paper, “Multimodal super-resolution: discovering hidden physics and its application to fusion plasmas,” published in Nature Communications.

Measurements have been made of the angular distribution of fission fragments from 235U at three fast-neutron energies. Results are fit by the expression W(θ) = 1 + A2cos2θ, with the anisotropy factor, A2, found to be −0.010 ± 0.014 at 265 keV, +0.137 ± 0.016 at 770 keV, and +0.157 ± 0.019 at 964 keV.
