Benign termination of runaway electron beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Joan Decker, Umar Sheikh, Luke Simons, Claudia Colandrea, Jean Arthur Cazabonne, Bernhard Sieglin, Gergely Papp

This paper discusses the development of a benign termination scenario for runaway electron (RE) beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV. A systematic study revealed that a low electron density (n e) companion plasma was required to achieve a large MHD instability, ...

A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...

On the Apparent Non-Uniqueness of the Electromagnetic Field Components of Return Strokes Revisited

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Recent research work shows that there are four procedures that can be used to calculate the electromagnetic fields from a current source. These different procedures, even though producing the same total field, give rise to field components that differ from ...

On Practical Implementation of Electromagnetic Models of Lightning Return-Strokes

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami

In electromagnetic models, the return-stroke channel is represented as an antenna excited at its base by either a voltage or a current source. To adjust the speed of the current pulse propagating in the channel to available optical observations, different ...

Design Methodology for Controlled-Q Resonators in OTA-based Filters

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Gabriele Tasselli, Saeed Ghamari

This paper presents a design methodology for high quality factor resonators based on operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) employed in active filters. The quality factor of a resonator, as its main specification, is translated to the requirements of ...

Generalized impedance boundary conditions for strongly absorbing obstacle: The full wave equation

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

This paper is devoted to the study of the generalized impedance boundary conditions (GIBCs) for a strongly absorbing obstacle in the time regime in two and three dimensions. The GIBCs in the time domain are heuristically derived from the corresponding cond ...

Numerical investigations of a multi-walled carbon nanotube-based multi-segmented optical antenna

Wei Wu

Motivated by the fabrication potential of multi-walled carbon nanotube structures, we numerically investigated a paired structure consisting of two metallic spheres each grown on one end of a multi-walled nanotube. The paired two-segmented structure is cap ...

The age of gossip: Spatial mean-field regime

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nikodin Ristanovic

Disseminating a piece of information, or updates for a piece of information, has been shown to benefit greatly from simple randomized procedures, sometimes referred to as gossiping, or epidemic algorithms. Similarly, in a network where mobile nodes occasio ...
