Status of the ITER ECRH&CD control system development [PDF]
The ITER ECRH&CD system is designed to inject 20 MW of millimetre-wave at 170 GHz into the vacuum vessel. The system is composed of many sub-systems, namely High-Voltage Power Supplies (HVPS), Gyrotrons, Transmission Lines (TL), Ex-vessel Waveguides (EW),

Differentiating multi-MeV, multi-ion spectra with CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors
The development of high intensity petawatt lasers has created new possibilities for ion acceleration and nuclear fusion using solid targets. In such laser-matter interaction, multiple ion species are accelerated with broad spectra up to hundreds of MeV ...

Preceding propagation of turbulence pulses at avalanche events in a magnetically confined plasma
The preceding propagation of turbulence pulses has been observed for the first time in heat avalanche events during the collapse of the electron internal transport barrier (e-ITB) in the Large Helical Device.

Experimental determination of the cooling efficiency of a high-temperature surface by a pneumatic nozzle [PDF]
The cooling of surfaces that perceive high heat fluxes (more than 7 MW/m2) at the current pace of development of the energy sector will become one of the main problems of the near future. In this paper, as one of the options for effective cooling of high-

Measurement of disruption forces in JET using fiber-optic sensors [PDF]
Monitoring the forces induced on the vacuum vessel when a disruption occurs is essential for the protection of the machine. Since divertor coils have been installed in JET, during disruptions a significant difference between the forces measured on the ...

Long-pulse Plasma Discharges by Upgraded ECH System in the LHD
Until 2009, three high-power, over 1MW each, 77GHz gyrotrons have been installed and applied to the LHD experiment. In addition, a 154GHz gyrotron of 1MW was installed in 2012. The 77GHz gyrotrons suffer gradual increases of internal pressure during long-

Synaptic proteins promote calcium-triggered fast transition from point contact to full fusion. [PDF]
The molecular underpinnings of synaptic vesicle fusion for fast neurotransmitter release are still unclear. Here, we used a single vesicle-vesicle system with reconstituted SNARE and synaptotagmin-1 proteoliposomes to decipher the temporal sequence of ...
