The JET hybrid scenario in Deuterium, Tritium and Deuterium-Tritium

Matteo Fontana, Haomin Sun, Javier García Hernández, Mikhail Maslov

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasm ...

Sub-10 ps Minimum Ionizing Particle Detection With Geiger-Mode APDs

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Emanuele Ripiccini, Ming-Lo Wu, Francesco Gramuglia, Carlo Alberto Fenoglio

Major advances in silicon pixel detectors, with outstanding timing performance, have recently attracted significant attention in the community. In this work we present and discuss the use of state-of-the-art Geiger-mode APDs, also known as single-photon av ...

Simulating energetic particle losses in JET plasmas with a reverse integration biasing scheme

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Matteo Vallar

An integrated energetic particle transport model has been constructed in JET plasmas constrained by experimental fast ion loss measurements. The model incorporates a synthetic fast ion loss detector identical to JET's thin-foil Faraday cup fast ion loss de ...

Development of a reduced model for energetic particle transport by sawteeth in tokamaks

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli, Anna Teplukhina, Matteo Vallar, Jiangyan Yang

The sawtooth instability is known for inducing transport and loss of energetic particles (EPs), and for generating seed magnetic islands that can trigger tearing modes. Both effects degrade the overall plasma performance. Several theories and numerical mod ...

High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications

Francesco Gramuglia

Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...

Search for long-lasting electronic coherence using on-the-fly ab initio semiclassical dynamics

Jiri Vanicek, Alan Scheidegger, Nikolay Golubev

Using a combination of high-level ab initio electronic structure methods with efficient on-the-fly semiclassical evaluation of nuclear dynamics, we performed a massive scan of small polyatomic molecules searching for a long-lasting oscillatory dynamics of ...

A novel approach for SPICE modeling of light and radiation effects in ICs

Chiara Rossi

Modeling the interaction of ionizing radiation, either light or ions, in integrated circuits is essential for the development and optimization of optoelectronic devices and of radiation-tolerant circuits. Whereas for optical sensors photogenerated carriers ...

On the road to ITER NBIs: SPIDER improvement after first operation and MITICA construction progress

Riccardo Agnello, Michele Fadone, Elena Gaio, Alberto Ferro

To reach fusion conditions and control the plasma configuration in ITER, the next step in tokamak fusion research, two neutral beam injectors (NBIs) will supply 16.5 MW each, by neutralizing accelerated negative hydrogen or deuterium ions. The requirements ...

Size distribution of neutral and charged particles smaller than 42 nm collected during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The size distribution of neutral and charged particles was measured using a neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer (NAIS) instrument. The concentration was corrected for diffusional losses in the inlet. The concentration and temporal dynamics of small pa ...
