Thermal energy mitigation and toroidal peaking effects in JET disruptions

Umar Sheikh

Previous investigations on JET suggest half or less of plasma stored thermal energy Wth is radiated (frad,th≲0.5) using either massive gas injection (MGI) or shattered pellet injection (SPI) disruption mitigation. We investigate whether the apparent incomp ...

Attosecond delays in X-ray molecular ionization

Christoph Bostedt

The photoelectric effect is not truly instantaneous but exhibits attosecond delays that can reveal complex molecular dynamics(1-7). Sub-femtosecond-duration light pulses provide the requisite tools to resolve the dynamics of photoionization(8-12). Accordin ...
