The Double Well Mass Filter
Authors: Renaud Gueroult, et. al.
Abstract:
Various mass filter concepts based on rotating plasmas have been suggested with the
specific purpose of nuclear waste remediation. We report on a new rotating mass
filter combining radial separation with axial extraction. The radial separation of the
masses is the result of a "double-well" in effective radial potential in rotating plasma
with a sheared rotation profile.
