Accelerator based fusion reactor

Accelerator-based ion beam analysis of fusion reactor materials

First wall components in controlled fusion devices undergo severe modification by various physical and chemical processes arising from plasma–material interactions: material erosion, its migration in the plasma and re-deposition. Ion beam analysis techniques play a prominent role in the studies of wall components exposed to hot plasmas. The intention of this work is to give a concise overview o...

Accelerator and Reactor Neutrino Experiments

Since the first detection of the neutrino at reactors [1] and the discovery of the νμ at the Brookhaven AGS [2], accelerators and reactors have been used to provide intense beams of neutrinos. Over the last 30 years, experiments with neutrino beams have played a major role in shaping the Standard Model of particle physics as it is known today. At present, electroweak theory is more conveniently...

Neutrino Properties from Reactor and Accelerator Experiments

In this talk, I discuss the general theory of neutrino oscillation experiments, putting special emphasis on the momentum distribution of the incoming neutrino beam. Then I discuss recent neutrino oscillation experiments, viz., LSND, KARMEN and CHOOZ. Experiments foreseeable in the near future have also been discussed at the end.

The First Fusion Reactor: Iter

28 I n practical terms, the project’s goal is to construct and operate a tokamak experiment which can confine a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the α-particle heating dominates all other forms of plasma heating. Formally, the primary mission of the ITER project is to demonstrate sustainment of a DT plasma producing ~500 MW of fusion power for durations of 300 500 s with a ratio of fusion outp...
