BaPSF
The Basic Plasma Science Facility
(BaPSF: Director Professor Walter Gekeleman) performs frontier-level research of
the plasma state of matter. Usage of the facility is available to qualified
scientists from national and international institutions, and industry. Research
on the fundamental properties of plasmas aids our understanding of applications
ranging from fusion energy to space science.
The UCLA PDG has utilized the facility to develop new
diagnostic techniques (see publications below) as well to investigate plasma
phenomena such as avalanches and long range turbulent correlations.
