Reply To: Toshiba's "Micro Nuclear Reactor" – it's not fusion, but it's here now

OK, any modifications to the below, or shall I post as is:

We need people with java skills! In particular, we need help improving a java program to reduce some of the data of a fusion research experiment. We need this help because the PhD student who was doing this for us has gone back to concentrating on his PhD, so he can’t help anymore (Thanks again to Reece for his contributions!). The program is already written to:

* take raw output from our detectors, such as our photomultiplier tubes;
* filter out the noise;
* detect the real peaks and measure their height, width, area, etc.

We need to modify Reece’s program for some of our other instruments. All the resulting programs, after neatening-up will be available online as open source applications available to other researchers to speed up the advancement of fusion.

Here’s our website: https://focusfusion.org – this Java project is an open source collaboration with the LPP experiment.

Here’s some info about us and what we’re doing:
The Focus Fusion Society (FFS) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization located in South Bound Brook, New Jersey.

Our mission is to bring people together to pursue the dream of safe, clean, affordable, abundant energy from aneutronic fusion, to ensure that the ensuing technology is made available to everyone, and to foster a pro-research ethic and pro-fusion culture.

Thanks a bunch!
