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 microscopy -Advances and outlook

Klaus Kern

Attosecond microscopy aims to record electron movement on its natural length and time scale. It is a gateway to understanding the interaction of matter and light, the coupling between excitations in solids, and the resulting energy flow and decoherence b ...

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 ...

Injecting the UV into the bootstrap: Ising Field Theory

Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia, João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Antoine Vuignier

We merge together recent developments in the S-matrix bootstrap program to develop a dual setup in 2 space-time dimensions incorporating scattering amplitudes of massive particles and matrix elements of local operators. In particular, the stress energy ten ...

Exact expression for the hot plasma conductivity kernel in configuration space

Jonathan Graves, Joey Rubin, Mike Machielsen

Electromagnetic perturbations of a magnetized plasma cause induced charges and currents, collectively known as the plasma response. In the frequency domain, this response is a non-local functional of the electric field. The associated integral kernel, know ...
