Suspended micro/nano channel resonators: a review

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Annalisa De Pastina

Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS) have demonstrated outstanding sensing capabilities down to the yoctogram (10(-24) g) scale in vacuum environment and cryogenic temperatures. In order to bring such extraordinary resolution levels into the ...

Electron flux and pressure dynamic in the LHC vacuum pilot sector as a function of beam parameters and beam pipe properties

Ambrogio Fasoli, Elena Buratin, Vincent Baglin

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is affected by the electron cloud (EC) phenomenon that can provoke beam instabilities, detrimental heat loads and pressure increases in the vacuum system. An innovative dedicated system called vacuum pilot sector (VPS) provi ...

Spontaneous conformal symmetry breaking in fishnet CFT

Georgios Karananas

Quantum field theories with exact but spontaneously broken conformal invariance have an intriguing feature: their vacuum energy (cosmological constant) is equal to zero. Up to now, the only known ultraviolet complete theories where conformal symmetry can b ...

Free-boundary MRxMHD equilibrium calculations using the stepped-pressure equilibrium code

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The stepped-pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19, 112 502) is extended to enable free-boundary multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MRxMHD) equilibrium calculations. The vacuum field surrounding the plasma inside an arb ...

Optomechanical generation of a mechanical catlike state by phonon subtraction

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

We propose a scheme to prepare a macroscopic mechanical oscillator in a catlike state, close to a coherent state superposition. The mechanical oscillator, coupled by radiation-pressure interaction to a field in an optical cavity, is first prepared close to ...

Slip Ring Test Assembly With Increased Breakdown Voltage Limit for High-Voltage Bus Satellites

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Fabio Avino

In this article, a setup including a passive gas breakdown mitigation technique for satellite slip ring assemblies (SRAs) is introduced and tested. The setup features a central conducting ring, separated from two external conducting limiting discs (LDs) by ...

Design of the future circular hadron collider beam vacuum chamber

Lotta Maria Mether

EuroCirCol is a conceptual design study of a post-LHC, Future Circular Hadron Collider (FCC-hh) which aims to expand the current energy and luminosity frontiers. The vacuum chamber of this 100 TeV, 100 km collider, will have to cope with unprecedented leve ...

Vortex siphon - from 1:1 scale physical model to SPH simulation and prototype

Giovanni De Cesare

The rail link between Geneva Cornavin Station, Eaux-Vives Station and Annemasse (CEVA) is currently under construction including a cut-and-cover tunnel built by slurry walls located in the alluvium of the Foron River. The covered trench cuts the groundwate ...

Modelling of non-linear edge harmonic oscillations and the effect of non-axisymmetric magnetic coils

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner, Guillermo Bustos Ramirez

Quiescent H-mode (QH-mode) operation is highly desirable relative to the well known H- mode operation because it allows for high energy density in the core as well as potentially im- proved confinement of energy and particles. A feature of QH-mode is that ...

Tests and developments of a long-pulse high-power 170 GHz absorbing matched load

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis

The future EC systems will consist of several gyrotron sources providing MW-level millimeter wave power at a frequency around or above 170 GHz. The development of matched loads is necessary to test the new sources, the components for the transmission lines ...
