Alpha Particle Effects as a Test Domain for PAP, aPlasmaApprenticeProgram
Harry E. Mynick · Physica Scripta · 1987
A new type of computational tool under development, employing techniques of symbolic computation and artificial intelligence to automate as far as possible the research activities of a human plasma theorist, is described. Its present and potential uses are illustrated using the area of the theory of alpha particle effects in fusion plasmas as a sample domain.
