    • Design of a diamond-based in-vessel soft x-ray detector for the SPARC tokamak 

      Normile, S; Vezinet, D; Perks, C; Bombarda, F; Verona-Rinati, G; e.a. (AIP Publishing, 2024-09-24)
      The in-vessel silicon diode arrays that are used for soft x-ray detection in many tokamaks are sensitive to neutron damage, making them unsuitable for burning plasma devices such as SPARC. In such a device, the silicon ...

    • Development of the prototype for the SPARC hard X-ray monitor 

      Panontin, E; Tinguely, RA; Hartwig, ZS; Saltos, AA; Vezinet, D; e.a. (AIP Publishing, 2024-08-05)
      The SPARC tokamak will be equipped with a hard X-ray (HXR) monitor system capable of measuring the bremsstrahlung emission from runaway electrons with photon energies in excess of about 100 keV. This diagnostic will detect ...

    • Perspectives on pilot-wave hydrodynamics 

      Bush, John WM; Frumkin, Valeri; Sáenz, Pedro J (AIP Publishing, 2024-07-15)
      We present a number of fresh perspectives on pilot-wave hydrodynamics, the field initiated in 2005 by Couder and Fort's discovery that millimetric droplets self-propelling along the surface of a vibrating bath can capture ...
