New Auburn University Course Expands Spectral diagnostics for CPU2AL Members

“Basically, our goal with this course is to take someone who has a limited background in spectroscopy and give them the tools to be able to collect and analyze spectral emission from a low-temperature plasma in order to diagnose plasma parameters. We also hope that once someone has completed the course, they will have the necessary background to develop more specialized diagnostics tooled to their specific needs.”

NSF EPSCoR CPU2AL, Connecting the Plasma Universe to Plasma Technology in Alabama, is a partnership of nine universities and a research corporation in Alabama. The project seeks to understand, predict, and control plasma processes and interactions in low-temperature plasma (LTP) environments. This knowledge has applications fortechnologies in aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, agriculture, and food safety.
