A new 3MW ECRH system at 105 GHz for WEST*

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

The aim of the WEST experiments is to master long plasma pulses (1000s) and expose ITER-like tungsten wall to deposited heat fluxes up to 10 MW/m2. To increase the margin to reach the H-Mode and to control W-impurities in the plasma, the installation of an ...

Vibrationally and Rotationally Inelastic Scattering of Methane from Ni(111)

Jörn Werdecker

This thesis presents a quantum-state-resolved molecular beam study of the non-reactive scattering of methane (CH4) from a Ni(111) surface. It is one of the first experimental investigations in which the internal quantum state distribution of a polyatomic m ...

2D Material-Based Bolometer

Tom Larsen, Marco Di Gisi

Measurement of thermal radiation through uncooled bolometers is at the heart of many industrial applications. From the development of the Honey- well silicon microstructure developed in 1982, no particular change in paradigm was recorded. The advent of 2D- ...

A novel carbon coating technique for foil bolometers

Basil Duval, Benoît Labit, Umar Sheikh, Federico Nespoli

Naked foil bolometers can reflect a significant fraction of incident energy and therefore cannot be used for absolute measurements. This paper outlines a novel coating approach to address this problem by blackening the surface of gold foil bolometers using ...
