Deep learning reconstructs plasma kinetic data from macroscopic measurements

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework to reconstruct detailed kinetic information about low-temperature plasmas from macroscopic measurements. By training neural networks like U-Net, Fourier Neural Operators (FNO), and MeshGraphNet on data from PIC-MCC simulations, the system can infer electron and ion energy distribution functions (EEDFs/IEDFs) from non-invasively measured plasma observables. The FNO model demonstrated the best performance, accurately recovering plasma density, temperature, and rate coefficients, which could advance plasma diagnostics and surrogate modeling. AI

IMPACT Enables more accurate and less invasive plasma diagnostics, potentially accelerating research in materials science and fusion energy.
