We aim to realize a neutron source enabling multifaceted utilization of fusion energy, based on plasma confinement in a dipole magnetic field—an approach fundamentally different from existing tokamak and helical configurations—and to develop interdisciplinary applications in antimatter science.

• A dipole magnetic field generated by high‑temperature superconducting technology provides a natural confinement configuration analogous to planetary magnetospheres, enabling the stable generation and sustainment of high‑performance plasmas suitable for advanced fusion using a relatively simple device structure.
• By employing a high‑magnetic‑field superconducting dipole device, the project will demonstrate the feasibility of ion heating and neutron production, thereby establishing the engineering foundation for a fusion‑based neutron source.
• Utilizing the fusion neutrons thus obtained, the project will advance applications in materials and physical sciences, including the development of high‑intensity positron sources and research on antimatter plasmas and advanced materials diagnostics. Through this interdisciplinary expansion, the project will contribute to diversified utilization of fusion energy and to progress toward future advanced‑fusion systems.
