Search for neutrino-induced particle showers with IceCube-40

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Sofia Vallecorsa, Mark Tobin, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on the search for neutrino-induced particle showers, so-called cascades, in the IceCube-40 detector. The data for this search were collected between April 2008 and May 2009 when the first 40 IceCube strings were deployed and operational. Three co ...

Amorphous silicon based betavoltaic devices

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Dunand, Yannick Samuel Riesen, Andrea Franco

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon betavoltaic devices are studied both by simulation and experimentally. Devices exhibiting a power density of 0.1 μW/cm2 upon Tritium exposure were fabricated. However, a significant degradation of the performance is taking pl ...

Analysis of Lithium Driven Electron Density Peaking in FTU Liquid Lithium Limiter Experiments

Yann Camenen, Dávid Wágner

The impact of lithium impurities on the microstability and turbulent transport characteristics in the core of a typical FTU liquid lithium limiter (LLL) (Mazzitelli et al 2011 Nucl. Fusion 51 073006) discharge during the density ramp-up phase is studied. A ...

Definition of the radiation fields for the JET gamma-ray spectrometer diagnostics

Patrick Blanchard

The JET gamma-ray diagnostics system provides information on the behaviour of fast particles within the tokamak plasma. Information on the spatial distribution of the interacting fast particles is obtained from the gamma-ray cameras, while energy distribut ...

Advanced materials characterization and modeling using synchrotron, neutron, TEM, and novel micro-mechanical techniques-A European effort to accelerate fusion materials development

Cécile Hébert

For the realization of fusion as an energy source, the development of suitable materials is one of the most critical issues. The required material properties are in many aspects unique compared to the existing solutions, particularly the need for necessary ...

A phenomenological explanation for the anomalous ion heating observed in the JET alpha-heating experiment of 1997

Duccio Testa, Mattia Albergante

In the so-called alpha-heating experiment performed on the JET tokamak during the deuterium-tritium campaign of 1997, the ion temperature was found to be far exceeding (both in absolute value and in its rise time) the level that could have been expected ...

Tandem collimators for the JET tangential gamma-ray spectrometer

Patrick Blanchard

The tangential gamma-ray spectrometer (TGRS) of the JET tokamak fusion facility is an important diagnostics for investigating the fast particle evolution. A well defined field of view for the TGRS diagnostics is essential for its proper operation and this ...

Implementation and testing of the JET gamma-ray cameras neutron filters pneumatic system

Patrick Blanchard

Neutron filters/attenuators have been designed and constructed as an upgrade of the JET gamma-ray cameras (GRC's). This diagnostics upgrade should reduce the neutron flux at the gamma-ray detectors in a way that it would make possible gamma-ray imaging mea ...

Experimental validation of radial reconstructed pin-power distributions in full-scale BWR fuel assemblies with and without control blade

Rakesh Chawla, Flavio Dante Giust

Total fission rate measurements have been performed on full-size BWR fuel assemblies of type SVEA-96+ in the zero power reactor PROTEUS at the Paul Scherrer Institute. This paper presents comparisons of reconstructed 2D pin fission rates from nodal diffusi ...
