Spectral and temporal behavior of an alkali metal plasma extreme ultraviolet source for surface morphology applications [PDF]
We have characterized the emission spectrum and temporal history of a pure potassium plasma in a capillary discharge. Strong broadband emission was observed around 40 nm due to 3s−3p, 3p−3d, and 3d−4f transitions in ions ranging from K2+ to K4+ at a time-

Appearance and analysis of a reflecting coating damage [PDF]
Eight reflecting gratings are installed into the plasma facing wall of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in order to provide a controlled second pass through the plasma centre in 140 GHz heating scenarios with reduced single pass absorption. Four of these gratings are

Charge resolved electrostatic diagnostic of colliding copper laser plasma plumes [PDF]
The collision of two laser generated plasma plumes can result, under appropriate conditions, in the formation of ‘stagnation layer’. The processes underlying this phenomenon are complex and time dependent.

Intense intermittent radiation at the plasma frequency on EAST [PDF]
Intense intermittent radiation has been observed regularly in EAST by using a Michelson interfer-ometer and a Q-band radiometer system. The radiation bursts are related to a fast process with characterization time of a few microseconds.

Confirmation of the topology of the Wendelstein 7-X magnetic field to better than 1:100,000
Early stellarator designs suffered from high particle losses, an issue that can be addressed by optimization of the coils. Here the authors measure the magnetic field lines in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, confirming that the complicated design of the

A megawatt-level 28 GHz heating system for the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade
The National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) will operate at axial toroidal fields of ≤ 1 T and plasma currents, Ip ≤ 2 MA. The development of non-inductive (NI) plasmas is a major long-term research goal for NSTX-U.
