MIT Room: NW17-103

Areas of Interest and Expertise

Plasma Physics: Electric Probes, Plasma-Surface Interaction, Diagnostic Development

Research Summary

Dr. Lipschultz’s primary emphasis is on the plasma physics of low-temperature (0.5-100 eV), moderate density (0.001 - 3 x 1021 m-3) plasmas that exist at the edge of fusion-related devices. This includes studies of ion & neutral transport, the atomic physics of the local processes (e.g. ion recombination and line radiation), ion-surface interactions and material studies
