A 'hybrid' scenario for ITER is defined through its objectives: a large fusion yield for a long time duration. In many tokamaks, discharges characterized by a stationary current density profile, enclosing a large volume of low magnetic shear with q(0) near ...
Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are investigated in helium and nitrogen as a function of pressure from 5 to 1000 mbar. Different regimes are observed: glow, Townsend, multi-peak and filamentary, depending on pressure, power and electrode gap. In heliu ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) in quartz watches is becoming more and more important due to the use of plastic materials and tactile sensors. The discharge can lead to different type of dysfunction such as a simple reset, a latch-up or the destruction of th ...
Systematic evaluation of different trickle irrigation design and management scenarios must consider the impact of a particular design on crop response at different soils, climatic conditions, and management options. Anecdotal evidence suggests that differe ...
The ECW system on Tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) allows the study of a wide range of poloidal and toroidal launch angles. Both electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) experiments have been performed to demonstra ...
Gravity-feed drilling is the most commonly used method for micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE). This paper proposes a method allowing the systematic characterization of this drilling method. The influences of voltage, ...
The first experimental observation of a radio frequency (rf) wave-induced particle pinch of trapped ions has been made in experiments at the Joint European Torus with nearly on-axis high power toroidally asymmetric ICRF (ion cyclotron range of frequencies) ...
Previous measurements of SixHm- anions and electrons in the afterglow of silane discharges are analyzed here. A model of plasma anion chemistry includes two sources of anions, two possible causes of x-->x+1 anion growth, and anion loss by mutual neutraliza ...
