Dans les expériences de physique des plasmas ou de fusion nucléaire, opération destinée à empêcher, de manière efficace et suffisamment prolongée, les particules d'un plasma de frapper les parois du conteneur dans lequel ce plasma est produit. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.] 3, record 1, French, - confinement%20d%27un%20plasma
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le confinement du plasma est une exigence fondamentale pour obtenir une énergie nette d'un plasma de fusion. La raison est que la diffusion est d'au moins un ordre de grandeur plus probable que les réactions de fusion. Par suite le plasma se disperserait sans confinement avant que des réactions de fusion en nombre suffisant prennent place. 3, record 1, French, - confinement%20d%27un%20plasma
