Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This guide specifies the scientific objectives, overall design parameters, design requirements, mainframe structure, major auxiliary systems and equipment configuration of the suspended dipole magnetic confinement plasma physics experimental device, as well as the design scope and calculation methods of important physical and engineering parameters in the context of fusion research applications. This guide is applicable to the physical and engineering design of suspended dipole magnetic confinement plasma devices, key technology research and material development, and primarily serves as a technical basis for the design and development of suspended dipole magnetic confinement devices used in fusion research. Additionally, it can also be used as an important reference for the design and development of suspended dipole magnetic confinement experimental devices for space physics research and antimatter research. Main technical content: The suspended dipole magnetic confinement plasma device is an experimental device for plasma confinement based on the closed poloidal magnetic field lines (i.e., dipole field) generated by suspended current-carrying dipole coils. Its confinement principle draws inspiration from the confinement mechanism of plasma rings in the magnetosphere of celestial bodies in the universe. As early as the 1980s, the concept of plasma confinement in space was first proposed by Professor Akira Hasegawa of Japan and Professor Chen Lu of Zhejiang University, which originated from the research on plasma physics in the magnetosphere of celestial bodies. In the universe, the most common magnetic field structure for confining plasma is the magnetic dipole field. The Voyager 2 probe, while flying through Jupiter and Uranus, unexpectedly discovered that the outer space plasma rings of Jupiter and Uranus, similar to the poloidal magnetic field generated by a single current-carrying coil, possess stable confinement capabilities for charged particles in th
