Using X ray absorption spectroscopy we can explore how matter behaves under extreme conditions, like those found inside gas giant planets. New paper by Dave Riley’s group @QUBelfast with @bkettle and Rory Baggott from my group @DoP_Imperial. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/at…

The pioneering spirit is embedded in our DNA. Today, we introduce a new series called ‘Fusion Pioneers’, a behind-the-scenes look at the work our team. First up is Cary Colgan, Plasma Diagnostician, whose work in diagnostics involves looking into the heart of fusion plasmas.

When using a laser wakefield accelerator, if your experiment alters the beam proprieties before you can measure them, what can you do? With @MattStreeterUK we trained a neural net to predict the electron spectrum using a suite of non-invasive diagnostics doi.org/10.1017/hpl.2022.47
