Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

In the rf-produced plasma, it will be a possible mechanism for the density clamping that the eigenmodes are formed in the axial direction. The higher frequency waves are effective for the higher density plasma production. On the conditions of such a saturation region, we observed clear increase of the density by using fast Alfvén wave with a frequency of tenth cyclotron higher harmonics at the midplane of the central cell. The increasing rate depends on the rf power. An increase of high energy ions is observed with the high frequency wave injection.
