“Because the plasma is macroscopically stable, and turbulence is not the enemy and all these things, there’s nothing about the plasma physics that actually limits the pulse length you can run these things. In the plasmas that we were running, we ran 5 shots, they were 5–20 seconds. And the reason why we’re running them so short is just because we want to be able to twiddle the knobs, and that’s long enough for us to get the data,” Mataira says.
