The Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) diagnostic will be a primary for measuring the dynamics of confined fusion born alpha particles in ITER and only alphas below 1.7 MeV [1]. probe beam CTS comes from 60 GHz 1 MW gyrotron operated ~100 Hz modulation sequence. In plasma, probing scattered off fluctuations primarily due to ions. Seven fixed receiver mirrors pick up radiation (the signal) seven measurement volumes along covering cross section plasma. is planned provide temporal resolution...
The ITER Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic will measure the dynamics of fusion-born alpha particles in burning plasma by a 1 MW 60 GHz gyrotron beam off fast-ion induced fluctuations plasma. have seven measurement volumes across cross section and resolve particle energies range from 300 keV to 3.5 MeV; importantly, CTS is only capable measuring confined for below ∼1.7 MeV also be sensitive other populations. temporal resolution 100 ms, allowing capture on that timescale, typical...
We have studied the deposition of perylene-tetracarboxylic-diimide, PTCDI, on rutile (1 × 1)-TiO2(110) surface. At variance with other polyaromatic hydrocarbons, like acenes, PTCDI displays a significant interaction this dielectric substrate. moderate substrate temperature (∼400 K), first layer molecules aggregate into two-dimensional islands corresponding to 5) commensurate phase. According our surface diffraction, STM, and NEXAFS studies, accommodates one molecule per unit cell, atop each...
Erosion behavior of a large number gas-turbine grade ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) was assessed using fine to medium grain garnet erodents at velocities 200 and 300 m/s ambient temperature. The CMCs used in the current work were comprised nine different SiC/SiCs, one SiC/C, C/SiC, SiC/MAS, oxide/oxide. damage quantified with respect erosion rate morphology via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) optical conjunction three-dimensional (3D) image mapping. response appeared be very complicated...
Two prototype superconducting corrector magnets, a sextupole and an octupole, have been designed fabricated by CIEMAT during the preparatory phase for Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity upgrade, in framework of SLHC project. These magnets will be grouped with other correctors dedicated cryo-assembly, placed LHC insertion regions. The shall to withstand radiation levels up 10 MGy. Therefore, nominal aperture increased 140 mm include 10-mm-thick steel shielding, all materials must...
The electron beam of the European XFEL will be accelerated to an energy up 17 GeV in a linear accelerator that is divided into 101 modules. Each module equipped with eight superconducting cavities and magnet package. That package consists main superferric quadrupole two nested corrector dipoles, horizontal vertical, enclosed stainless steel vessel. Conduction-cooled current leads are used. Up four prototypes were produced between 2005 2009. Some problems detected, which may complicate series...
Microwave diagnostics will play an increasingly important role in burning plasma fusion energy experiments like ITER and beyond. The Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) diagnostic to be installed at is example of such a with great potential present future experiments. CTS inject 1 MW 60 GHz gyrotron beam into the observe scattering off fluctuations — monitor dynamics fast ions generated reactions.
