A study of the influence of plasma-molecule interactions on particle balance during detachment

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Artur Perek, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

In this work we provide experimental insights into the impact of plasma-molecule interactions on the target ion flux decrease during divertor detachment achieved through a core density ramp in the TCV tokamak. Our improved analysis of the hydrogen Balmer s ...

A novel hydrogenic spectroscopic technique for inferring the role of plasma-molecule interaction on power and particle balance during detached conditions

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing, Artur Perek

Detachment, an important mechanism for reducing target heat deposition, is achieved through reductions in power, particle and momentum; which are induced through plasma-atom and plasma-molecule interactions. Experimental research in how those reactions pre ...

Novel inferences of ionisation and recombination for particle/power balance during detached discharges using deuterium Balmer line spectroscopy

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

The physics of divertor detachment is determined by divertor power, particle and momentum balance. This work provides a novel analysis technique of the Balmer line series to obtain a full particle/power balance measurement of the divertor. This supplies ne ...

Observation of the 1S-2P Lyman-alpha transition in antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

In 1906, Theodore Lyman discovered his eponymous series of transitions in the extreme-ultraviolet region of the atomic hydrogen spectrum(1,2). The patterns in the hydrogen spectrum helped to establish the emerging theory of quantum mechanics, which we now ...

Stark broadening of Balmer lines with low and moderate quantum number in dense divertor plasmas

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

A computer simulation technique is applied to the modelling of Balmer line shapes in dense divertor conditions. The spectral profile of lines with a high principal quantum number n is sensitive to Stark broadening and can be used as a density diagnostic. I ...

Spectroscopic investigations of divertor detachment in TCV

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Nicola Vianello, Federico Nespoli, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Wouter Vijvers, Roberto Maurizio, Claudio Marini

The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of detachment at TCV with emphasis on analysis of the Balmer line emission. A new Divertor Spectroscopy System has been developed for this purpose. Further development of Balmer line analysis techniques h ...

The Lyman alpha reference sample VII. Spatially resolved H alpha kinematics

Hakim Atek

We present integral field spectroscopic observations with the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer of all 14 galaxies in the z similar to 0.1 Lyman Alpha Reference Sample (LARS). We produce 2D line-of-sight velocity maps and velocity dispersion maps fr ...

Distinctive rings in the 21 cm signal of the epoch of reionization

Yves Revaz

Context. It is predicted that sources emitting UV radiation in the Lyman band during the epoch of reionization show a series of discontinuities in their Ly alpha flux radial profile as a consequence of the thickness of the Lyman-series lines in the primeva ...
