Atomic and Molecular Diagnostic Processes in Plasmas



Main Areas of Research

with particular interest in fusion and astrophysical plasmas.

Programme of research: studies of reaction kinetics and dynamics of atoms, molecules and ions in a variety of low, moderate and high temperature plasmas. A wide range of theoretical computational studies and modern experimental spectroscopic and other diagnostic techniques are employed to investigate the fundamental processes. As well as research work carried out within the Department there is a great deal of collaboration with the use of external facilities both inside and outside of the United Kingdom.
