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.

Cross Sections for (n,xp), (n,xd), and (n,xα) reactions induced by 15-MeV neutrons on 27Al, 46Ti, and 48Ti have been measured with a quadrupole spectrometer. Particles with energies as low as 800 keV were detected. Large sub-Coulomb-barrier peaks are found in the proton spectra from 27Al and 46Ti, but not from 48Ti; alpha-particle and deuteron spectra do not show such a peak. The presence or absence of such a peak is found to be related to the importance of the (n,n’p) reaction for a given isotope. Enhancement of the total proton-pro-duction cross section by almost a factor of 2 through such reactions is found for 27Al and 46Ti
