Impedance simulations and measurements on the LHC collimators with embedded beam position monitors

Nicolas Frank Mounet, Benoît Salvant, Nicolò Biancacci

The LHC collimation system is a critical element for the safe operation of the LHC machine. The necessity of fast accurate positioning of the collimator's jaws, recently introduced the need to have button beam position monitors directly embedded in the jaw ...

Non-Destructive Examination Method for the ITER Toroidal Field Conductor Terminations

Pierluigi Bruzzone

An electric Non-Destructive examination method has been developed in order to inspect the ITER toroidal field (TF) terminations at room temperature and give an indication of the joint performance during manufacturing, thus reducing the risks related to hig ...

Superior GRAPPA reconstruction with reduced g-factor noise using 2D CAIPIRINHA for 3D EPI

Rolf Gruetter, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Mayur Narsude, Daniel Gallichan

Efficient GRAPPA or SENSE reconstruction is largely dependent on coil geometry in the direction in which phase encoding steps reduction is performed during partially parallel acquisition. In this study we demonstrate the ability to perform a 2D CAIPIRINHA ...

Compensation of the Instrumental Decay in Measured Lightning Electric Field Waveforms

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, José-Luis Bermudez

The proper characterization of lightning electric and magnetic fields is very important for a number of reasons, such as the study and design of lightning protection and the validation of return stroke models. Also, an accurate late time response of the se ...

Methodology for the Digital Calibration of Analog Circuits and Systems Using Sub-binary Radix DACs

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a methodology for digitally calibrating analog circuits and systems. Based on the detection of an imperfection by a simple comparator, a successive approximations algorithm tunes a compensation current. The latter is generated by a sub- ...

A parametric AC loss model of the ITER coils for control optimization

Luca Bottura

A recent study on AC loss calculation in different operating regimes of relevance for ITER plasma control has shown that AC loss calculations can be performed on a model with a level of complexity and completeness not achieved so far [L. Bottura, P Bruzzon ...

Controlled Resonant Circuit with Commutated Capacitors using Self-Switching Power Devices

Alfred Rufer, Daniel Siemaszko, Christian Rod

This paper presents a preliminary work on a resonant circuit, also called AC-dipole. The resonance frequency of the circuit is changed by the mean of a variable capacitor connecting an inductor. For this purpose, a bank of switched capacitors of different ...

New self-switching mechanisms for active bidirectional switches

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade, Daniel Siemaszko

The self-switching principle is a synthesis of synchronous type switching and switch inner protection mechanisms. Both switch ON and switch OFF are performed on the base of current and voltage measurement across the switch. Applied to an active bidirection ...

Microsensor for in situ flow measurements in benthic boundary layers at submillimeter resolution with extremely slow flow

Alfred Johny Wüest, Bernhard Wehrli

The currents in the lowest few millimeters of the bottom boundary layer of lakes are highly important for the dissipation of kinetic energy and for chemical processes such as oxygen transfer into the sediment. So far, no high-resolution flow velocity profi ...
