Notes:
A novel technology is suggested for making solid hydrogen shells around impurity pellets to be injected into plasmas of fusion devices with a view to looking into its transport properties. In proof-of-principle tests, a 3 mm long and 3 mm diameter cylindrical solid hydrogen shell was formed around a 0.2 mm diameter globular pellet at a temperature of 8–11 K within 5 min and accelerated in a pipe-gun barrel up to 1 km/s. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
