Simultaneous Ultra-Fast Imaging and Neutron Emission from a Compact Dense Plasma Focus Fusion Device

Instruments, 2018
Recently, there has been intense interest in small dense plasma focus (DPF) devices for use as pulsed neutron and X-ray sources. Although DPFs have been studied for decades and scaling laws for neutron yield versus system discharge current and energy ...

Searching for the most powerful thermonuclear X-ray bursts with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory

, 2018
We searched for thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Galactic neutron stars in all event mode data of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory collected until March 31, 2018. In particular, we are interested in the intermediate-duration bursts (shell flashes fueled

In vitro analysis of the cytotoxic effect of two different sizes ITER-like tungsten nanoparticles on human dermal fibroblasts

Heliyon, 2023
Background: Based on the current configuration of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, tungsten (W) was chosen as the armour material. Nevertheless, during operation, the expected power and temperature of plasma can trigger the formation

Discovery of the neutron star nature of SLX 1737-282

, 2002
SLX 1737-282 is a persistent moderately bright X-ray source 1.2 deg from the Galactic center. X-ray observations with the Wide Field Cameras on BeppoSAX have for the first time revealed the true nature of SLX 1737-282: a 15-min long thermonuclear flash ...

Automatic location of relevant time slices and patterns in both signals and video-movies: real-time and off-line visualization

Frontiers in Physics
Next generation nuclear fusion devices, (for instance ITER), will generate Pbytes of data. To gain knowledge about the nature of thermonuclear plasmas, an in depth analysis of such massive databases is required. Typically, to get statistical relevance in
