Research activities:
The idea of transmutation of nuclear waste in the fusion-driven devices is under investigation. In particular, the increased neutron multiplication by 14 MeV source neutrons promises more efficient and safe substitution of plasma gain, thus leading to a relaxation of respective demand for high plasma Q.

Muon Catalyzed Fusion Group:

• Fusion in muonic hydrogen-helium molecules
• Scattering of muonic atoms in hydrogen
• Monte Carlo simulations of kinetics of muon catalyzed fusion in hydrogen
• Rotational transitions in helium-hydrogen muonic molecules
• Auger deexcitation of muonic hydrogen atoms in collisions with electronic hydrogen
• Nuclear fusion in asymmetric muonic molecules via Faddeev-equations treatment
• Monte-Carlo simulation of muonic atom cascade using the new theoretical data for Stark-transitions
• Study of nuclear fusion reactions at low collision energies using Z-pinch technique
