Identification of the ubiquitous Coriolis momentum pinch in JET tokamak plasmas

Henri Weisen, Yann Camenen, Mikhail Maslov

A broad survey of the experimental database of neutral beam heated plasmas in the JET tokamak has established the theoretically expected ubiquity, in rotating plasmas, of a convective transport mechanism which has its origin in the vertical particle drift ...

Cyclotron Designs for Ion Beam Therapy with Cyclinacs

Adriano Garonna

This thesis presents new superconducting compact (as opposed to separated-sector ) cyclotron designs for injection in CABOTO, a linac developed by the TERA Foundation delivering C6+/H2+ beams up to 400 MeV/u for ion beam therapy. This association of a vari ...
