Plasma is a fourth state of matter (Solid, liquid, gas, plasma) and is very important research field because of strong linkage to our life through a variety of plasma application to industries. Plasma Physics has been developed to explain nonlinear phenomena observed in plasmas and how we can control plasmas.

ΣE Lab is located at National Institute for Fusion Science！
Main Offices and Labs are located in National Institute for Fusion Science: NIFS (Toki city, Gifu prefecture). NIFS is an inter-university research institute working on Nuclear Fusion Science. In ΣE Lab., a variety of experimental devices such as the Large Helical Device (LHD), the neutral beam test stand (NIFS-NBTS), high density plasma experiment (Hyper-I), ElectroHydorodynamic Convection (EHC) is available to attack leading-edge research subjects. Goal of ΣE Lab. is contribution to nuclear fusion science/development, space and astrophysics, nonlinear physics, through deepening the understanding of plasma physics.
