Abstract In the European roadmap towards nuclear fusion, new Italian project DTT (Divertor Tokamak Test), currently under construction at ENEA Frascati Research Centre, aims exploring alternative solutions for divertor, in support to optimization of divertor configuration foreseen DEMO. A dedicated set diagnostics are planned measure total radiated power and monitor plasma processes by means Soft-X emission measurements. The acquisition will rely on commercial metal resistor bolometers,...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate for the first time performance a synthetic single crystal diamond detector microdosimetric characterization clinical 62 MeV ocular therapy proton beams. Methods A novel microdosimeter with well‐defined sensitive volume fabricated and tested monoenergetic spread‐out Bragg peak (SOBP) CATANA therapeutic beam in Catania, Italy. whole has an active planar‐sectional area 100 µm × thickness approximately 6.3 um. Microdosimetric measurements were...
Abstract Since the 2018 IAEA FEC Conference, FTU operations have been devoted to several experiments covering a large range of topics, from investigation behaviour liquid tin limiter runaway electrons mitigation and control stabilization tearing modes by electron cyclotron heating pellet injection. Other involved spectroscopy heavy metal ions, density peaking in helium doped plasmas, assisted start-up temperature measurements high plasmas. The effectiveness laser induced breakdown system has...
In previous studies, excellent results have been achieved by installing Soft X-ray and UV diamond photodetectors at JET FTU, suggesting the great potential of such devices for fusion plasma diagnostics. The main limitation in applying thin CVD detectors to tomography systems was failure detect photons with energy higher than 3 keV. this work, we present investigation detection capabilities two additional detector layouts: LAT prototype, optimized 10 keV, IEC detector, monitoring fast events...
Abstract High‐field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has proven to be a valuable tool analyze petroleum products but never acquired widespread acceptance in routine work oil refinery due the high cost. The advent of compact, reliable, and affordable cryogen‐free low‐field benchtop NMR spectrometers suggest possible role such instrument for variety uses refining spanning from lab applications online analysis. In this work, we report development novel application estimate API gravity, sulfur...
Single crystal diamond detectors are widely employed in laser-induced plasma experiments to retrieve information about particles generated from the interaction. In particular, diamonds used as Time of Flight (TOF) featured by good sensitivity, high radiation hardness and fast response time. this work, we provide a detailed characterization two different types electrodes configuration retrieving their charge collection efficiency, temporal response, effective active area. The so obtained then...
The diagnostic performances of photodetectors based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) single crystal diamonds that were installed one the equatorial ports FTU tokamak during last six months operation machine are reported. Examples plasma fast events have been collected in several different conditions, confirming response capabilities diamond detectors and high S/N ratio. During Runaway Control Mitigation experiments, for example, so-called Anomalous Doppler Instabilities observed as sharp...
64Cu is an emerging radionuclide of great interest in personalized nuclear medicine. It produced by a cyclotron via the reaction 64Ni(p,n)64Cu. This production method increased during last decades, because small biomedical cyclotrons can be easily installed close to medicine department hospital. As matter fact, 64Ni very expensive target material. For this reason, alternative was investigated at ENEA using quasi-monochromatic 14 MeV fusion neutron beam made available Frascati Neutron...
Telescope detectors have long been studied for their capability of discriminating the type radiation detected. Silicon is most widely used material solid-state detectors. However, in many nuclear physics experiments and medical applications, diamond offers significant advantages due to its outstanding features, such as a near tissue equivalence, high hardness reliable operation harsh environments. A monolithic ΔE–E diamond-based telescope was fabricated. The thicknesses two detection stages...
