A new 3MW ECRH system at 105 GHz for WEST*

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ioannis Pagonakis, François Jean Gaston Legrand

The aim of the WEST experiments is to master long plasma pulses (1000s) and expose ITER-like tungsten wall to deposited heat fluxes up to 10 MW/m2. To increase the margin to reach the H-Mode and to control W-impurities in the plasma, the installation of an ...

RADCAM-A radiation camera system combining foil bolometers, AXUV diodes, and filtered soft x-ray diodes

Basil Duval, Umar Sheikh, Luke Simons

Measurements of radiated power are critical for characterizing and optimizing tokamak performance. The RADCAM system, comprising arrays of foil bolometers, Absolute eXtreme UltraViolet (AXUV), and filtered soft x-ray diodes, has been constructed to provide ...

Methods to determine the radiated power in SPI-mitigated disruptions in JET

Umar Sheikh, Paulo Giovane Paschoali Pereira Puglia

This paper presents techniques for evaluating the radiated power in JET disruptions. Disrupting plasmas are shown to have non-axisymmetric radiation profiles, motivating the re-evaluation of the standard techniques for calculating the total radiated power ...

Disruption mitigation efficiency and scaling with thermal energy fraction on ASDEX Upgrade

Basil Duval, Umar Sheikh

Disruption mitigation remains a critical and unresolved issue for ITER. Measurement uncertainties preventing quantification of a system's efficacy remains a significant hurdle in producing and validating a viable disruption mitigation system. This study ad ...

Vibrationally and Rotationally Inelastic Scattering of Methane from Ni(111)

Jörn Werdecker

This thesis presents a quantum-state-resolved molecular beam study of the non-reactive scattering of methane (CH4) from a Ni(111) surface. It is one of the first experimental investigations in which the internal quantum state distribution of a polyatomic m ...

A novel carbon coating technique for foil bolometers

Basil Duval, Benoît Labit, Umar Sheikh, Federico Nespoli

Naked foil bolometers can reflect a significant fraction of incident energy and therefore cannot be used for absolute measurements. This paper outlines a novel coating approach to address this problem by blackening the surface of gold foil bolometers using ...

State-to-state scattering of CH₄ from Ni(111) and Gr/Ni(111)

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of the first state-to-state surface scattering experiments for methane from clean single crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. The experiments use infrared laser pumping to prepare the incident C ...

Graphene-based plasmonic switches at near infrared frequencies

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier

The concept, analysis, and design of series switches for graphene-strip plasmonic waveguides at near infrared frequencies are presented. Switching is achieved by using graphene's field effect to selectively enable or forbid propagation on a section of the ...

Far-infrared sensor with LPCVD-deposited low-stress Si-rich nitride absorber membrane—Part 2. Thermal property and sensitivity

Nico de Rooij, Fabio Jutzi

This is the second part of two articles reporting investigation on a thermal-detector-type far-infrared sensor operating in the 8–14 µm wavelength region using Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) deposited low-stress Si-rich nitride (SiN) membra ...

Radiation distributions in TCV

Richard Pitts, Jan Horacek, Marco Wischmeier, Barbora Bruant Gulejová

Total radiative powers measured by foil bolometer and AXUV camera systems are compared to SOLPS5 simulations in low and high density deuterium and helium diverted discharges on the TCV tokamak. For low density the match between simulation and measurements ...

Role of Adsorbates on Dynamics of Hot-Electron (type I and II) Thermalization within Gold Nanoparticles

Hubert Girault, Jean-Pierre Abid, Christophe Bauer

Early stages of hot-electron thermalization in small gold nanoparticles wrapped in an adsorbates shell have been investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Type-I hot electrons thermalize in 800 fs (to form type-II hot electron) either ...

Density profile peaking in the presence of ECRH heating in TCV

Henri Weisen, Alexey Zabolotskiy

Experimental observations in stationary ECRH discharges in TCV show that additional heating has a strong effect on the electron density profile. In the absence of MHD activity or strong internal transport barriers, additional electron heating generally lea ...
