Most cited across the field

Ranked by citation count. Because citations accumulate over time, this list naturally leans towards work published a few years ago; for where the field is now, see “recently added”.

  • Radiation Resistant Camera System for Monitoring Deuterium Plasma Discharges in the Large Helical Device

    Plasma and Fusion Research · 2020 · Q3 · FWCI 0.98 · 801,217 citations · Open access

    A novel radiation-resistant camera system has been successfully developed and deployed for monitoring deuterium plasma discharges in the Large Helical Device (LHD). This system has enabled safe operation during experiments without significant radiation-induced failures.
