Abstract A gas electron multiplier (GEM)-based detector was utilized for the first time on a spherical tokamak, MAST-U, during 2023 campaign to investigate soft x-ray (SXR) radiation (1–20 keV) emitted from plasma. GEM detectors, chosen their resilience harsh fusion environments and ability provide energy-resolved ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:mi>r</mml:mi> <mml:mi>e</mml:mi> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi>...
Abstract The RFX-mod2 device, the upgraded version of previous RFX-mod with a modified magnetic boundary, is presently under realization and will start to be operated in 2025. Significant upgrades diagnostic capabilities have been proposed are development. These include largely increased number in-vessel electrostatic sensors, new fast reciprocating manipulator for exploration edge plasma wide range experimental conditions, improved Thomson scattering soft x-ray diagnostics system detailed...
Abstract Thermal neutron imaging can be a useful tool in the study of internal structure an object. The different attenuation properties materials with respect to X rays give rise interactions and result is complementary non-destructive analysis, which provide important additional information. This technique has been successfully employed areas work, especially material science cultural heritage studies. paper describes development new detection system its characterization performed ray...
Abstract A multipurpose software, called Revolt, has been developed to fully exploit the imaging capabilities of Triple-GEM 2D cameras for X-rays and neutrons detection. Both tomographic inversion techniques synthetic data production methods are based on modeling a transport matrix between spatially resolved signal detector 3D emission in experimental space. The core task Revolt software is provide two quantities via numerical-geometrical approach. method analytical evaluation pixels Line Of...
Several small to medium-scale magnetic confinement fusion devices operate using deuterium as fuel. These low neutron rate (108–1010 n/s) rely on 2.45 MeV measurements validate physical models and assess their performance. Given the modest rate, monitors have be placed close possible machine maximize data gathering. In these regions, intense stray fields could affect detector’s this work, development of a detector based an EJ-276D scintillator crystal coupled with SiPM custom-made readout...
The MITICA experiment, under construction at Consorzio RFX (Padova, Italy), is the full-scale prototype for Neutral Beam Injector (NBI) of ITER tokamak. One critical aspects ion beam accelerator high voltage holding over long vacuum gaps (up to 1 MV from source enclosing vessel), with main issue being occurrence discharge events, which could severely damage machine. To study this phenomenology, aim prevention discharges, High Voltage Padova Test Facility (HVPTF) experiment in operation....
