Proceedings of the 22nd Topical Conference on High-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics

Scientists and engineers have gathered from around the world to present their latest instrumental developments at the 22nd edition of the biannual Topical Conference on High-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics (HTPD) held in San Diego, California, April 16-19, 2018. This conference, hosted by General Atomics, brought together plasma physicists and engineers from a variety of fields, including magnetic confinement fusion, inertial confinement fusion, space plasmas, astrophysics, and industrial applications to discuss mutual problems in the development of instrumentation including experimental and analytical techniques for the characterization of high temperature plasmas.
