To improve analytical figures-of-merit of the single-pulse LIBS for determination trace elements in soil samples, a new configuration spatial confinement based on special designed device described recently our work (A.M. Popov, F. Colao and R. Fantoni, J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2009, 24, 602–604) was studied. The tool realized is small chamber (about 4 mm diameter) equipped with polished brass walls high efficiency collecting optics. A specific procedure developed to clean from impurities...
Analysis and understanding of wall erosion, material transport fuel retention are among the most important tasks for ITER future devices, since these questions determine largely lifetime availability fusion reactor. These data also extreme value to improve validate models in vessel build-up T inventory D–T devices. So far, research areas is supported by post-mortem analysis tiles. However, access samples will be very much restricted next-generation devices (such as ITER, JT-60SA, W7-X, etc)...
The provision of a particle and power exhaust solution which is compatible with first-wall components edge-plasma conditions key area present-day fusion research mandatory for successful operation ITER DEMO. work package plasma-facing (WP PFC) within the European programme complements laboratory experiments, i.e. in linear plasma devices, electron ion beam loading facilities, studies performed toroidally confined magnetic such as JET, ASDEX Upgrade, WEST etc. connection both groups done via...
A small chamber in brass has been developed order to enhance the sensitivity of single-pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for element determination air. Its use results an increase a factor 3 and 10 As Fe signals detected UV range (230–240 nm).
White marble samples from ancient quarries have been analyzed by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) both on the bulk material and surface encrustations. With aim to achieve quantitative results LIBS, until now not reported materials, calibration standards with CaCO3 matrices doped certified soils were realized. Very different emission intensities plasma parameters observed natural marbles. In order compare so spectra, a method for data analysis was developed, which takes into...
The Crilin calorimeter is a semi-homogeneous calorimetric system that uses Lead Fluoride (PbF 2 ) crystals with UV-extended Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). Proposed for the Muon Collider, it requires high granularity to distinguish signal particles and address substructures jet identification. Anticipating substantial occupancy due beam-induced backgrounds, simulations indicate photon flux an average energy of 1.7 MeV approximately 4.5 MHz/cm fluence rate. Prioritizing time-of-arrival...
Since the 2012 IAEA-FEC Conference, FTU operations have been largely devoted to runaway electrons generation and control, exploitation of 140 GHz electron cyclotron (EC) system liquid metal limiter elements. Experiments on shown that measured threshold electric field for their is larger than predicted by collisional theory can be justified considering synchrotron radiation losses. A new control algorithm was developed tested in presence a current plateau, allowing minimize interactions with...
