Commissioning scenarios and tests for the LHC collimation system

Chiara Bracco

The physics reach of the LHC requires unprecedented luminosity and beam intensity in proton-proton collisions. The maximum intensity in the LHC is directly coupled to the maximum peak beam loss rate and the cleaning efficiency from the collimation system. ...

Complete compensation of pulse broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system using a nonlinear regeneration element

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

We experimentally demonstrate complete compensation of pulse broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system. The configuration of the delay line basically consists of two stages: a conventional Brillouin slow light system and a nonlinear regeneration e ...

Boiling on a tube bundle

Francesco Agostini

The complexity of the two-phase flow in a tube bundle presents important problems in the design and understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. The working conditions of an evaporator depend largely on the dynamics of the two-phase flow that in t ...
