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.

Excellent agreement has been found between a University of Florida neutron pulse propagation experiment and a two-dimensional space-time calculation. Discrepancies previously reported between the experiments and one-dimensional WIGLE calculations are now attributed to inadequate treatment of the kinetic distortion caused by the presence of transverse reflectors.
