Research Interest
Professor Boucher is a specialist in the physics of on-board plasmas and deflector machines dedicated to thermonuclear fusion research. Professor Boucher is interested in determining the parameters of these plasmas in order to arrive at an understanding of the mechanisms of particle and energy losses. Measurement of the flow velocity in edge plasma using probes of the Gundestrup type was developed by Professor Boucher who was able to perform measurements in plasma in the edge of the tokamak TEXTOR in Germany as well as in plasma of the ergodic deflector of the Tore Supra tokamak in France. Professor Boucher is also interested in the theoretical study of dusty plasmas.
