Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have identified plasma rotation as the key factor explaining why particles in fusion tokamaks strike one side of the exhaust system more than the other. Their simulations, which matched real experiments, combined rotation with sideways drifts. The discovery could improve designs for future fusion reactors.
