Integral NBI design analysis and efficiency optimization for beam-driven hot plasma.
- Independent consultancy in NBI heating and beam-driven plasma physics, transport and confinement, integrated operational scenario development for present tokamak experiments and reactor projects.
- Assistance with NBI and transport/scenario code verification, validation and benchmarking.
Our approach
- Combined beamline and target-plasma efficiency, modeled as one system.
- Design-oriented, multi-component (LEGO-type) software.
- Full user control — resources, scenarios, settings, delivery.
- Fast algorithms with lifetime user support.
- Attention to detail — full design geometry and complexity honoured, without losing sight of the most efficient, optimal solution.

What we optimize
- Ion source & optics — beamlet divergence and focusing.
- Neutralizer & residual ion dump — efficiency and thermal load.
- Duct & re-ionization losses, shine-through risk.
- Fast-ion deposition — heating and current-drive profile.
- Beam-plasma fusion & neutron yield — especially critical for compact fusion neutron sources.
Our distinctive features
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.
- Eugenia Dlougach, a specialist in NBI modelling; developed the BTR code (1995), the earliest beamline simulator routinely applied to NBI R&D by physicists and engineers, including ITER NB&CD.
- Irina Voitsekhovitch, a leading scientist in transport simulations and integrated scenario modelling (JET, TCV, Tore Supra, ITER), with 40+ years of experience in the field including 23 years of work at JET/EUROfusion.
