Burning Plasma Physics

Burning Plasma Physics is a branch of plasma physics that specifically studies self-sustaining fusion reactions in which the plasma is heated predominantly by the energy of alpha particles produced through fusion, distinguishing it from other plasma regimes by its reliance on internal thermonuclear heating to maintain ignition conditions.
