Healing plasma current ramp-up by nitrogen seeding in the full tungsten environment of WEST

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Simon Van Mulders

Achieving a successful plasma current ramp-up in a full tungsten tokamak can be challenging due to the large core radiation (and resulting low core temperature) that can be faced with this heavy metallic impurity if its relative concentration is too high. ...

Relaxed Locally Correctable Codes With Nearly-Linear Block Length And Constant Query Complexity

Alessandro Chiesa

Locally correctable codes (LCCs) are error correcting codes C : \Sigmak \rightarrow \Sigman which admit local algorithms that correct any individual symbol of a corrupted codeword via a minuscule number of queries. For systematic codes, this notion is stro ...
