Chinese scientists have successfully obtained high-confinement plasma for a record length of time, which experts believe will promote the development of international thermonuclear fusion research.
中國科學家成功獲得了創(chuàng)時間記錄的高約束模，專家們相信這將會推動國際熱核聚變研究的發(fā)展。
The recent experiment was conducted using China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), an experimental thermonuclear fusion reactor that replicates the energy-generating process of the sun. The experiment lasted over one minute. This achievement will be key to the success of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the largest international program dedicated to thermonuclear fusion experiments. It also marks a major step forward for fusion studies, Thepaper.cn reported on Nov. 2.
近期的實驗通過使用中國的先進實驗超導托卡馬克(EAST)來完成——一個實驗熱核聚變反應堆，可復制太陽的能量生成過程。該實驗持續(xù)了一分多鐘。它將會成為國際熱核實驗反應堆(ITER)(國際上的熱核聚變實驗工程)成功的關鍵。Thepaper.cn于11月2日報道，這也標志著聚變研究向前發(fā)展的重要一步。
This is not the first time that EAST has generated enduring plasma. In 2012, plasma in a similar environment was maintained for 32 seconds, breaking the world record at that time. Since then, EAST has had its tungsten diverters and auxiliary heating system upgraded, laying the foundation to create long-pulse, high-confinement plasma.
此次并非EAST首次生成穩(wěn)態(tài)模。2012年，EAST在相同的環(huán)境里創(chuàng)造了32秒高約束模的世界紀錄。此后，EAST升級了鎢偏濾器和輔助加熱系統，為實現長脈沖穩(wěn)態(tài)高約束模奠定了堅實的基礎。
Officially established in 2006, the EAST fusion reactor is run by the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hefei.
EAST于2016年正式建立，由中科院合肥物質科學研究院承擔。
