What Does ASDEX Stand For?

ASDEX stands for Axially Symmetric Divertor Expt

ASDEX, or Axially Symmetric Divertor Experiment, is a research initiative focused on investigating advanced divertor designs for fusion reactors. The project aims to understand plasma behavior and enhance energy confinement through an axially symmetric configuration, facilitating the development of efficient plasma exhaust systems. ASDEX contributes to the global effort to achieve sustainable nuclear fusion by exploring innovative solutions for heat and particle management in fusion reactors.
