Generating energy from nuclear fusion reactions is crucial for the future of humankind! These reactions occur in a plasma contained inside a machine using complex magnetic fields. We are able to understand the structure, the position, and the behaviour of the plasma using electromagnetic waves and a technique called reflectometry. However, processing the raw reflectometry data is complicated and it may take months for a researcher to make sense of it.

The Open Reflectometry Project aims to make it easy to access and handle reflectometry data by providing an open source Python library and several examples of raw data that you are free to use!
