The development of fusion energy will require materials resilient to harsh bombardment by energetic plasma. Linear plasma devices are widely used examine such simulating power loads and particle fluxes, which envisaged for the future reactor grade devices. To correctly simulate these conditions, in simulator should be running continuously have high enough density, 1019m-3 or higher. A good candidate produce a is helicon source. This paper reviews source, under collaboration between Budker Institute Forshungzentrum Juelich, perspective its application at JULE-PSI device.
