The National Institute for Fusion Science has developed new code that can simulate the movement of plasma and, simultaneously, the movement of particles circulating at high speeds. In the Japanese fusion reactor called the Large Helical Device (LHD), researchers have investigated plasma oscillations induced by high-energy particles. New research results, along with the data obtained from LHD experiments, have clarified the details of oscillations that cannot be measured by experiments and the interaction of high-energy particles and their oscillations.
