Transport phenomena in tokamak plasmas strongly limit the particle and energy confinement and represent a crucial obstacle to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of transport studies, three topics have been tackled in the present the ...
During high recycling conditions and divertor detachment in the TCV tokamak, divertor target Langmuir probes never measure electron temperatures much below similar to5 eV. Code simulations using B2-EIRENE of these plasmas indicate that Te approximate to 1 ...
The interacting electron-hole system is investigated in the framework of non-equilibrium Green's functions. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation we derive a set of equations for the polarization of the interacting electron and hole ...
The electron temperature, pressure and density pro les from an extreme variety of shaped Ohmically heated sawtoothing plasmas in TCV ( Tokamak a Configuration Variable, B-T < 1.5T, R-0 = 0.88 m, a < 0.25 m) are compared to model predictions drawing from tw ...
The damping rate of the n = 1 toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAE) mode in Ohmic-heated JET plasmas has been measured and compared with the prediction of the kinetic NOVA-K code, which includes electron and ion Landau damping of the global shear-Alfven wave fi ...
Space-charge effects (so-called negative-mass instability) as the reason for electron energy spread arising in the region of the electron drift between the cathode and the cavity of a gyrotron are discussed. Theoretical calculations are compared with resul ...
Electron capture dissocn. (ECD) of polypeptide cations was obtained with pencil and hollow electron beams for both sidekick and gas-assisted dynamic ion trapping (GADT) using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) with an el ...
Clear evidence is reported for the first time of a rapid localized reduction of core electron energy diffusivity during the formation of an electron internal-transport barrier. The transition occurs rapidly (similar or equal to3 ms), during a slow (similar ...
Experimental plasma-edge gradients in JET during the edge-localized-mode (ELM) free H-mode are examined for evidence of the presence and location of the transport barrier region inside the magnetic separatrix. High spatial resolution data in electron densi ...
We discuss a novel approach to measure the electron phase-relaxation length and femtosecond lifetimes at surfaces. It relies on the study of the spatial decay of quantum interference patterns in the local density of states (LDOS) with the STM. The method h ...
