Plasma Start-up

Plasma Start-Up is a critical operational phase in magnetic confinement fusion devices, specifically within stellarator and tokamak engineering, that encompasses the initial generation and establishment of a stable, magnetically confined plasma through controlled ionization of neutral gas and subsequent ramp-up of plasma current and temperature using external heating and current drive systems.
