Magnets and Components for Fusion Experiments

Controlled nuclear fusion is a powerful and promising option for the solution of future energy problems. At the temperatures necessary for fusion, around 100 Million °C, matter decays into an electrically charged plasma of electrons and nuclei. This plasma becomes enclosed due to a strong magnetic field and therefore contact to plasma facing components is avoided.

The division of magnet technology draws its know-how from a wealth of experience from almost all important European fusion projects of the past decades.
