Integrated NBI performance.
Beamline components design: ion source-accelerator, neutralizer, residual ion dump, ducts, scrappers, etc.
Thermal power load, power density at NBI elements.
Source beam optics, interception (scrapping).
Physical environment: electro-magnetic fields, gas flux.
Fast ion deposition and beam-target efficiency.
Beam-plasma scenarios.
Particle and power losses in plasma.

Our tools and methodology are forged from decades of hands-on expertise in beam-driven plasma and NBI physics — validated on ITER, JET and TCV.

NBI modelling; BTR code (1995) project, the earliest beamline simulator routinely applied by NBI physicists and engineers; BTOR beam-plasma software (2018) for efficient and detailed description of fast ions in magnetically confined plasma.
Transport simulations and integrated scenario modelling (JET, TCV, Tore Supra, ITER). Combination of reduced and sophisticated modelling, AI assisted development and hybrid (PINN) tools.
