COMPX

CompX is a consulting group comprised of a project director and several physicists who focus on computational modeling of the auxiliary heating of magnetic confinement, fusion energy and plasma devices. We are engaged in long term development and upgrading of computer modeling codes which give phase-space distributions of electrons and ions resulting from DC electric field, rf wave, plasma sources, and radial transport in toroidal magnetic confinement devices; and in open magnetic systems such as magnetic mirrors. These comprehensive physics-based models have proven useful for interpretation and projection of plasma heating, current drive, and particle source experiments in tokamak, spherical tokamak, reverse field pinch, and the GDT axisymmetric mirror plasmas... Our goal is to contribute to harnessing fusion energy, the energy driving the sun, as an economically viable, carbon-free power source for humankind... The codes are open source, after the main development stage. We provide..
