The X-Point radiating regime at ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

Holger Reimerdes, Marco Wischmeier, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Artur Perek, Bernhard Sieglin

Future fusion reactors require a safe, steady-state divertor operation. With deep divertor detachment, which is typically induced by impurity seeding, the radiation concentrates in a small region at the X-point or on closed flux surfaces above the X-point. ...

Exact Expressions for Lightning Electromagnetic Fields: Application to the Rusck Field-To-Transmission Line Coupling Model

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

An exact analytical expression for the electric field of the return stroke as excited by a propagating step current source is derived in this paper. This expression could be advantageously used to evaluate the disturbances caused by lightning on overhead l ...

Modulation of the nanoscale motion rate of Candida albicans by X-rays

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba

IntroductionPatients undergoing cancer treatment by radiation therapy commonly develop Candida albicans infections (candidiasis). Such infections are generally treated by antifungals that unfortunately also induce numerous secondary effects in the patient. ...

Analytic Approximation of In-Body Path Loss for Implanted Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Mingxiang Gao, Zvonimir Sipus

Implantable bioelectronic devices predominantly use wireless links for communication and/or power transfer. When considering transmitting implanted antennas, electromagnetic radiation through biological media is highly attenuated, and previous work has sho ...

Robust Analog Multisensory Array System for Lossy Capacitive Sensors Over Long Distances

Sandro Carrara, Amar Kapic, Andromachi Tsirou

A robust capacitive multisensory readout system is presented in this article. The system consists of a few thousand lossy capacitive-based sensors that can be modeled as a parallel connection of sensor capacitor and undesirable leakage resistance. The real ...

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon high flux x-ray detectors for synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy

Sylvain Dunand, Nicolas Würsch, Giulia Rossi, Matthew James Large

Objective. Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity ...

Homogenous power distribution along gyrotron collector walls

Stefano Alberti, Damien Fasel, Pierre-François Isoz, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Miguel Filipe Silva Füglister

EC RF power sources will play a major role in the future operation of large scale tokamaks (ITER, DEMO). A 1MW/170GHz gyrotron is the standard RF power unit considered for ITER. Even though the efficiency of such devices has been significantly increased th ...

Hardware-Software co-design Methodologies for Edge AI Optimization

Flavio Ponzina

ML-based edge devices may face memory and computational errors that affect applications' reliability and performance. These errors can be the result of particular working conditions (e.g., radiation areas in physical experiments or avionics) or could be th ...

Design and Development of a Diagnostic System for a Non-Intercepting Direct Measure of the SPIDER Ion Source Beamlet Current

Stable and uniform beams with low divergence are required in particle accelerators; therefore, beyond the accelerated current, measuring the beam current spatial uniformity and stability over time is necessary to assess the beam performance, since these pa ...

Lightning interaction with the ionosphere

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Dongshuai Li

Lightning discharges, including cloud-to-ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning, are known to emit electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in a wide frequency band ranging from few Hz up to hundreds MHz [1]. During the breakdown and ionization processes (mostly f ...
