A novel hydrogenic spectroscopic technique for inferring the role of plasma-molecule interaction on power and particle balance during detached conditions

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing, Artur Perek

Detachment, an important mechanism for reducing target heat deposition, is achieved through reductions in power, particle and momentum; which are induced through plasma-atom and plasma-molecule interactions. Experimental research in how those reactions pre ...

A study of the influence of plasma-molecule interactions on particle balance during detachment

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing, Artur Perek

In this work we provide experimental insights into the impact of plasma-molecule interactions on the target ion flux decrease during divertor detachment achieved through a core density ramp in the TCV tokamak. Our improved analysis of the hydrogen Balmer s ...

Generation and observation of fast deuterium ions and fusion-born alpha particles in JET D-He-3 plasmas with the 3-ion radio-frequency heating scenario

Henri Weisen, Javier García Hernández, Alberto Mariani, Samuele Mazzi

Dedicated experiments to generate energetic D ions and D-(3) He fusion-born alpha particles were performed at the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). Using the 3-ion D-(D-NBI)-(3) He radio frequency (RF) heating scenario, deuterium io ...

Constant light element abundances suggest that the extended P1 in NGC 2808 is not a consequence of CNO-cycle nucleosynthesis

Carmela Lardo

Recent photometric results have identified a new population among globular cluster stars. This population, referred to as the 'extended P1', has been suggested to be the manifestation of a new abundance pattern where the initial mass fraction of He changes ...

VLT/FLAMES high-resolution chemical abundances in Sculptor: a textbook dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

We present detailed chemical abundances for 99 red-giant branch stars in the centre of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which have been obtained from high-resolution VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. The abundances of Li, Na, alpha-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca Ti), ...

Stark broadening of Balmer lines with low and moderate quantum number in dense divertor plasmas

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

A computer simulation technique is applied to the modelling of Balmer line shapes in dense divertor conditions. The spectral profile of lines with a high principal quantum number n is sensitive to Stark broadening and can be used as a density diagnostic. I ...

Spectroscopic investigations of divertor detachment in TCV

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Wouter Vijvers, Claudio Marini, Federico Nespoli, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Umar Sheikh, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Nicola Vianello, Roberto Maurizio

The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of detachment at TCV with emphasis on analysis of the Balmer line emission. A new Divertor Spectroscopy System has been developed for this purpose. Further development of Balmer line analysis techniques h ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Water at the Triple Point: Using Theory as a Link Between Experiments

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

One of the most prominent consequences of the quantum nature of light atomic nuclei is that their kinetic energy does not follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) experiments can measure this effect. Thus, the nucle ...

The last stages of star formation in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans

Romaine Theler

This thesis is anchored in the research of better understanding of the chemical evolution of galaxies. Many dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are orbiting the Milky Way displaying various star formation histories. The formation of these dwarf galaxies and t ...

Ab initio simulation of particle momentum distributions in high-pressure water

Michele Ceriotti

Applying pressure to water reduces the average oxygen-oxygen distance, and facilitates the delocalisation of protons along the hydrogen bond. This pressure-induced delocalisation is further enhanced by the quantum nature of hydrogen nuclei, which is very s ...

Microturbulence driven transport of energetic ions in the ITER steady-state scenario

Mattia Albergante

Modelling of microturbulence-driven transport of energetic ions in an ITER steady-state scenario is presented. Results indicate that a significant fraction of the velocity space distribution of alpha particles and deuterium ions can be transported above ne ...
