Microstrip patch antennas with broad beamwidth

Ismael Vico Triviño

Microstrip antennas offer a broad set of advantages such as low profile, light weight, easy fabrication and low cost. As these are desirable or even critical for a broad range of applications, there has been a large interest for these antennas in the anten ...

Voyager 2 plasma observations of the heliopause and interstellar medium

Paula Garcia Galindo

The solar wind blows outwards from the Sun and forms a bubble of solar material in the interstellar medium. The heliopause (HP) is the boundary that divides the hot tenuous solar wind plasma in the heliosheath from the colder, denser very local interstella ...

Two-fluid solutions for Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma, over all space and bias potential

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

This paper presents solutions for the classical one-dimensional (1D radial and Cartesian) problem of Langmuir probes in a collisionless, isothermal plasma. The method is based on two-fluid equations derived from the first two moments of Vlasov's equation. ...

The Gaia mission

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original interferometric concept was changed to a direct-imaging approach. Both the ...

Electromagnon dispersion probed by inelastic X-ray scattering in LiCrO2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Christian Rüegg

Inelastic X-ray scattering with meV energy resolution (IXS) is an ideal tool to measure collective excitations in solids and liquids. In non-resonant scattering condition, the cross-section is strongly dominated by lattice vibrations (phonons). However, it ...

Dual-pump sweep-free stimulated Brillouin optical distributed sensing method and device

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

The present invention concerns a Brillouin optical distributed sensing method, comprising steps of: (i) providing a first and a second optical pulsed pump wave (20, 23) and an optical probe wave comprising at least one probe spectral component (26), (ii) d ...

Pre-sheath density drop induced by ion-neutral friction along plasma blobs and implications for blob velocities

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The pre-sheath density drop along the magnetic field in field-aligned, radially propagating plasma blobs is investigated in the TORPEX toroidal experiment [Fasoli et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 52, 124020 (2010)]. Using Langmuir probes precisely al ...

Existence of subsonic plasma sheaths

Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The location of the plasma sheath edge, where quasineutrality is broken, is rigorously derived by using a kinetic description of the plasma. It is shown that sheaths can exist with arbitrarily small ion velocity at the sheath edge, thus violating the Bohm ...
