Magnetic Confinement ProcedureStandard

Standard operating procedure for magnetic confinement.

Safety ProtocolStandard

Follow field and lab safety protocols specific to plasma physics.

  • Field Ripple

    Magnetic field ripple affects particle transport — map field before experiments.

  • Coil Cooling

    Monitor coil temperatures — overheating shifts field geometry.

  • Strong Fields

    Keep credit cards and pacemakers away from energized magnet coils.

Safety Notes

  • Always use proper shielding when operating plasma sources.
  • Never bypass safety interlocks on vacuum chambers.
