The effect of vertical displacements on the runaway electron avalanche in ITER mitigated disruptions

In order to prepare the operation of ITER, it is important to estimate the amplitude of the runaway electron (RE) current that could appear following disruptions at large plasma currents. Theoretically, the avalanche gain of RE population on a toroidal flu ...

A Magic Angle Spinning Activated O-17 DNP Raser

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Snaedis Björgvinsdóttir

In the raser effect, a sample spontaneously emits continuous radiofrequency radiation, allowing exceptionally narrow NMR line widths to be recorded without applying pulses. To achieve this phenomenon, a large negative magnetization must be induced, which w ...
