The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $1,345,309 Cooperative Agreement under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 81.135) to provide plasma-materials-interaction (PMI) testing and evaluation services to six institutional teams conducting fusion materials research.

Specifically, the PISCES facility at UCSD will expose candidate fusion material targets developed by the Category A CHADWICK research teams to high-flux deuterium, helium, or deuterium-helium plasmas, with the option to simulate neutron damage effects using the new POSEIDON experiment. UCSD will also provide characterization services for the pre- and post-exposure target materials, including analysis of surface composition, thermal diffusivity, erosion, and hydrogen retention. This support will enable quantified PMI testing and evaluation of the fusion materials being developed by the CHADWICK program recipients.
