PPRC’s Dr. Hamid Yousefi visits LPP for 3 weeks, furthers scientific publication collaboration, proposal to IAEA on the horizon

From October 14 to November 3, Dr. Hamid Yousefi, an internationally-known researcher in aneutronic fusion and long-time collaborator of LPP’s Chief Scientist Lerner, visited LPP’s NJ lab and participated in its research activities. Dr. Yousefi is a professor at the Plasma Physics Research Center in Tehran, which recently agreed to collaborate with LPP on scientific publications in the field of aneutronic fusion. While here, he had long discussions with Lerner and Shannon on the details of the Focus Fusion effort. The scientists also finalized a first step in the collaboration agreement. This is to propose to two PhD plasma physics students at PPRC that they initiate theses based on analyses of neutron and x-ray data from LPP’s FF-1 experiment. Through this effort, LPP will be able to obtain skilled analysis of data that we have simply not had time to study in detail, and PPRC students will get access to an unparalleled data set from a large plasma focus fusion experiment. (While Iran has several plasma focus groups, none can use deuterium or other fusion fuels, due to the sanctions against Iran.)

In addition, Dr. Yousefi and another PPRC colleague, Dr. Pejman Khorshid, who also paid a brief visit to LPP, have had discussions of the Fusion for Peace initiative with representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Based on these discussions, we are proposing to the IAEA the establishment of a Collaborative Research Project for Aneutronic Fusion. Such an international collaboration under IAEA auspices, if approved, will make it easier for many groups in the US, Japan, Australia, and elsewhere to collaborate with us and Iranian researchers without concerns about potential violations of the sanctions on Iran.
