A new and unique fusion reactor comes together with PPPL's contributions.

First plasma is coming soon to the University of Seville's compact spherical tokamak called SMART .

The SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART) strongly benefits from PPPL computer codes as well as the Lab's expertise in magnetics and sensor systems.

SMART and PPPL researchers are working on diagnostics, which are devices with sensors to assess the plasma.

Several such diagnostics are being designed by PPPL Physicists Manjit Kaur and Ahmed Diallo , together with Viezzer , are leading the design of the SMART 's Thomson scattering diagnostic, for example.

Researchers at the University of Seville have already run a test in the tokamak, displaying the pink glow of argon when heated with microwaves.

This process helps prepare the inner walls for a far denser plasma contained at a higher pressure.

While technically, that pink glow is from a plasma, it's at such a low pressure that the researchers don't consider it their real first plasma.
