Mass Spectrometry for Nuclear Fusion Research

Hiden Analytical mass spectrometry systems support nuclear fusion research across the entire fuel cycle, helping scientists better understand the complex interactions that drive fusion performance. From fuel handling and vacuum system characterization to plasma diagnostics and materials analysis, our instruments deliver the precise data needed to advance fusion technologies and improve reactor efficiency.

Our solutions provide real-time hydrogen isotope monitoring and residual gas analysis, enabling researchers to track changes in operating conditions and identify critical process variables. Species-resolved plasma diagnostics offer deeper insight into plasma behavior, while advanced analytical techniques help characterize the chemistry and physics occurring within fusion environments.

Beyond plasma studies, Hiden Analytical systems support investigations of plasma-facing materials through Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS)
