Basic Plasma Science Facility

The UCLA Basic Plasma Science Facility (BaPSF) is a national collaborative research facility in the United States dedicated to fundamental plasma physics, supported by the US Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. It provides access to advanced research devices, particularly the Large Plasma Device, enabling the exploration of co... mplex plasma processes that are challenging to study in smaller or larger facilities. The facility serves the scientific community, facilitating research in areas such as magnetic confinement fusion and magnetic reconnection. BaPSF is part of the Plasma Science and Technology Institute at UCLA, which encompasses various laboratories and research groups focused on plasma-related inquiries.Read More
