Fuelling fusion plasmas with pellets: Can neuromorphic control outperform Sigma-Delta modulation?
L. L. T. C. Jansen, E. Petri, M. van Berkel +1
Nuclear fusion is a promising clean energy source in which deuterium and tritium fuse inside a magnetically confined plasma in a tokamak, releasing energy. A key challenge on the r…

Nuclear fusion plasma fuelling with ice pellets using a neuromorphic controller
L. L. T. C. Jansen, E. Petri, M. van Berkel +1
In reactor-grade tokamaks, pellet injection is the best candidate for core plasma fuelling. However, density control schemes that can handle the hybrid nature of this type of fuell…
