Science and Research in the Area of Laser Plasma

Science and research go hand in hand. They occupy the largest part of any activity, because we always want to move forward. New technologies are being developed and new products manufactured, so this process is very important.

Pulse Plasma Systems and Material Engineering

The Institute of Plasma Physics of ASCR focuses on a series of studies aimed at examining plasma and its use in practice. One of the projects is the research of pulse plasma systems, within which plasma is studied, created using pulsed, high-voltage discharges. Another important project is research within material engineering. It primarily involves the interaction of plasma with solid and liquid phases.

Laser plasma – experimental and theoretical research

The Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, headquartered in Prague, focuses on experimental and theoretical research and applications of plasma produced by high power laser beams. The experimental research is carried out on one of the largest lasers in Europe. The department also cooperates with other inland workplaces that are engaged in plasma research.

Tokamak – experimental and theoretical research – physics of internal and marginal plasma

Institute of plasma physics is one of the 53 scientific institutes in the Czech Republic which belong to Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Do you ask what everything we research and what for our projects focuses on? That´s really a lot of it! We have six departments where the material physics, plasma and the other branches are researching. It´s about the following departments: - Thermal plasma (theoretical and experimental research of electrical arc, modelling of arc discharge and plasma flow) - Materials engineering (physical and chemical processes in material after their interaction with plasma) - Impulse systems (low, middle and high impulse outputs) - Laser plasma (creating plasma from gas targets) - Tokamak (peripheral plasma, plasma interaction with electromagnetic vibration, development of advanced diagnostic methods) -TOPTEC centre We focus and participate on the following research: - Plasma interaction with the other states of matter - Controlled thermonuclear fusion - Plasma-based or aided waste treatment - Exploitation of electric discharges - Plasma spraying processes and the other plasma activities - Plasma generators In our institute we offer a chance students for which physics is the main branch of study and often also the content of life. We cooperate with the ČVUT Charles University in Prague. A new study specialization under the name Physics and technology thermonuclear fusion was opened in 2006.

Scientific research of plasma physics and its applications Prague, the Czech Republic

The main activity of the Institute of plasma physics AS CR, v.v.i. is scientific research of plasma physics and its application. Our activities include the research and development in the following areas: - Thermonuclear fusion (controlled) - Plasma spraying process - Elimination of waste in plasma - Interaction of plasma with other states of matter - Plasma generators - Electric discharges and their exploitation We try to find successful solutions to any problems related to plasma and continuously come up with new findings in this area. The institute consists of several departments, that are aimed at various activities (for instance Tokamak, TOPPTEC centre). We are one of the 53 research institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The institute is located in Prague 8 - Libeň.
