In order to encourage and support graduate students to engage in research work, the symposium selected 10 best student report awards from 23 student reports. Certificate and presentation of the latest monograph "High-Density Helicon Plasma Science" by Prof. Shunjiro Shinohara and a commemorative flash drive from Boswell Technology.
The Second Helicon Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop (HelICON Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop) is an academic conference co-sponsored by RodBoswell and Googler. It is committed to providing a professional academic exchange platform for spiral wave plasma researchers at home and abroad. The first session, organized by the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (held online due to the impact of the epidemic), focused on the basic physics of spiral wave discharge, and this session focused on the application of spiral wave plasma sources in ring fusion devices and industrial fields.
