Design of atomic clock cavity based on a loop-gap geometry and modified boundary conditions

Anja Skrivervik, Anton Evgeniev Ivanov

In this study, we investigate a concept that can be used to improve the magnetic field homogeneity in a microwave cavity applied in a novel, high-performance atomic frequency standard. We show that by modifying the boundary conditions in the case of a loop ...

Review and perspectives of electrostatic turbulence and transport studies in the basic plasma physics device TORPEX

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Fabio Avino, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

TORPEX is a basic plasma physics toroidal device located at the CRPP-EPFL in Lausanne. In TORPEX, a vertical magnetic field superposed on a toroidal field creates helicoidal field lines with both ends terminating on the torus vessel. We review recent advan ...
