We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead an innovative project involving a novel laser-based spectroscopic diagnostic. This role involves measuring electric and magnetic fields at the edge of magnetically confined plasma using the dynamic Stark effect implemented through Doppler Free Saturation Spectroscopy (DFSS).
The successful candidate will be instrumental in deploying this diagnostic to the LTX-Beta tokamak. There, it will be a key tool for direct measurement of local electric and magnetic fields in the edge of plasmas.
The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate DFSS in the LTX-β, and to investigate key physics phenomena related to low neutral recycling regimes. The researcher will gather experimental data vital for addressing existing gaps in knowledge regarding edge plasma of LTX-β.
This position offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of fusion research, contributing valuable insights and data to the field. The role is ideal for a candidate passionate about advancing our understanding of plasma physics and its applications in energy and technology.
