Abstract New developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector that can discriminate between Cherenkov scintillation signals. Such could reconstruct particle direction species using light while also having excellent energy resolution low threshold of scintillator detector. Situated deep underground, utilizing new techniques computing reconstruction, this achieve unprecedented...
Significant advances in microwave and millimeter wave technology over the past decade have enabled development of a new generation imaging diagnostics for current envisioned magnetic fusion devices. Prominent among these are electron cyclotron emission imaging, phase interferometers, scattering, reflectometer systems Te ne fluctuations (both turbulent coherent) profiles (including transport barriers) on toroidal devices such as tokamaks, spherical tori, stellarators.
