Energetic particle physics is studied in Alcator C-Mod in reactor relevant regimes with high density and equilibrated electron and ion temperatures. Stable Alfven eigenmodes are excited with low-power active magnetohydrodynamic antennas in the absence of a ...
A quasi-isodynamic stellarator with poloidally closed contours of the magnetic field strength B (Mikhailov 2002 Nucl. Fusion 42 L23) has been obtained by an integrated physics optimization comprising MHD and neoclassical theory. For a configuration with si ...
We present a multiple laser tweezers system based on refractive optics. The system produces an array of 100 optical traps thanks to a refractive microlens array, whose focal plane is imaged into the focal plane of a high-NA microscope objective. This refra ...
JET's recent experimental programme proved that 'burning plasma diagnostics', i.e. neutron, alpha particle, He ash, and fuel mixture measurements, can provide very useful information about crucial physical aspects of great reactor relevance. First of all, ...
A measurement station has been built for the non-destructive investigation of burnt fuel rod segments through high-resolution gamma spectrometry. Four UO2 pressurised water reactor fuel rod segments with different burnup levels between 50 and 100GWd/t and ...
A C-13 CPMAS NMR experiment at high field (11.7 T) has produced significantly improved dispersion for the a form of testosterone, allowing revisions and extensions to be made to the assignments. Correlations shown by an INADEQUATE two-dimensional spectrum, ...
Here, we report on an aqueous room temperature synthesis method for the production of gold nanoparticles that have a number (> 4) of branches ultimately resembling the shape of sea urchins. The particles are synthesized in the presence of water soluble thi ...
The condition of the latest version of the ELMy H-mode database has been re-examined. It is shown that there is bias in the ordinary least squares regression for some of the variables. To address these shortcomings three different techniques are employed: ...
Based on the structural data of phases alpha (hexagonal; 756-972 K), beta (monoclinic; 605-751 K), gamma (incommensurate, monoclinic; 295 K) and delta (lock-in, monoclinic; 110 K) of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, we could draw a parallel between the phase tran ...
The formation of colloidal unmodified (naked) gold nanoparticles is investigated by irradiation of a precursor solution with X-rays from a synchrotron source. An interesting morphological evolution as a function of exposure time, from cross-linked network- ...
