The core of realizing fusion energy lies in stably maintaining ultra-high temperature plasmas exceeding 100 million degrees. At the heart of this challenge is Heating and Current Drive (H&CD) Technology.
FLASH leads the innovation in overcoming technical limitations and maximizing the performance of Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) systems, the most powerful H&CD method for fusion devices. We are laying the cornerstone for sustainable fusion energy production by enhancing the efficiency and stability of next-generation NBI systems.
Furthermore, leveraging our accumulated expertise in high-energy beams and plasma engineering, we are expanding our research horizons to include Accelerator Technology, Low-temperature Plasma Applications, and AI-driven Plasma Source Optimization. By integrating deep insights into plasma physics with cutting-edge convergence technologies, we aim to solve critical energy problems and contribute to the advancement of future science and technology.
Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) delivers energetic particles into fusion reactors to heat plasma and drive current. While it stands as the most powerful Heating and Current Drive (H&CD) method, achieving a quantum leap in efficiency requires breakthrough innovation. FLASH leads this transformation by advancing technologies across the entire NBI system—from next-generation negative ion sources and high-efficiency plasma neutralizers to energy recovery beam dumps.
FLASH expands the horizons of research by combining deep insights into plasma physics with cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence. Through this convergence, we develop sophisticated simulations and data-driven diagnostic technologies optimized for particle accelerators and industrial plasma processes. By bridging theory, experiment, and digital innovation, we deliver practical solutions to complex scientific challenges.
