Energy-selective confinement of fusion-born alpha particles during internal relaxations in a tokamak plasma

Confining plasma for fusion requires controlling many parameters. Here the authors report the existence of a narrow parameter space for the simultaneous confinement of energetic alpha particles and removal of slowed-down helium ash in a magnetically confined fusion plasma by using kinetic-magnetohyd...
