High power mm-wave loss measurements of ITER ex-vessel waveguide components at the FALCON test facility at the Swiss Plasma Center

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Avelino Mas Sanchez, Anastasia Xydou, Cinta Lucia Marraco Borderas, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

Many future fusion devices will rely heavily, if not solely, on electron cyclotron (EC) heating subsystems to provide bulk heating, instability control (neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization), and thermal instability control. Efficient use of the i ...

EMC and earthing concept of the ITER EC-system

Damien Fasel, Francisco Sanchez, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray

Gyrotrons and High Voltage Power Supplies (HVPS) used on electron cyclotron (EC) systems are the source of large electromagnetic interference (EMI). Arcing events inside gyrotrons is the most frequently cited issue, but fast shutdown of a HVPS can produce ...

A history of crowd simulation: the past, evolution, and new perspectives

Daniel Thalmann

This paper aims to discuss the past, evolution, and new perspectives in crowd simulation. Many work have been produced and published in this area that was launched approximately 30 years ago. In this paper, we re-visited the main aspects of the area, prese ...

High-Power Testing of Guided-Wave Components for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher at the FALCON Test Facility

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Each of the four ITER electron cyclotron heating (ECH) upper launchers (ULs) features eight transmission lines (TLs) made of guided-wave components used to inject 170-GHz microwave power into the plasma at a level of up to 1.31 MW per line, at the TL diamo ...

Enhanced operation of the Eu Ec test facility

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Albert Perez, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray

A Test Facility (TF) has been designed and installed at SPC to allow for the commissioning of the EU gyrotrons developed in view of their integration to the ITER EC system. The first phase of operation of this TF was dedicated to the development of the EU ...

Rollable Multisegment Dielectric Elastomer Minimum Energy Structures for a Deployable Microsatellite Gripper

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake, Volker Gass, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi, Muriel Richard

Debris in space presents an ever-increasing problem for spacecraft in Earth orbit. As a step in the mitigation of this issue, the CleanSpace One (CSO) microsatellite has been proposed. Its mission is to perform active debris removal of a decommissioned nan ...
