Dr. James L Terry

Dr. Terry's primary research interest has been the diagnosis of magnetically confined plasmas with the goal of scientific understanding and optimization of plasma confinement, heating, and control. This has involved study of plasmas with temperatures ranging from 0.5 eV to 30 keV and densities ranging from 0.001-3x10 21 m-3. Generally, the diagnostic techniques he has employed have involved plasma spectroscopy (from the soft x-ray region to the infrared) and various particle tracers.
