Instrumentation for magnetically confined fusion plasma diagnostics

Muon Catalyzed Fusion

The state of the art and the recent progress made in dpt fusion is shortly reviewed. Experiments demonstrated 100 to 150 dt fusions per muon. The most reliable value for dt sticking is * 0.5?10. This sets a natural limit to the possible fusion output with pCF to 200 per muon. In energy applications, the concept of Yu. Petrovs pCF hybrid reactor is sketched. There are prospects for using pCF for...

Stau-catalyzed Nuclear Fusion

We point out that the stau τ̃ may play a role of a catalyst for nuclear fusions if the stau is a long-lived particle as in the scenario of gravitino dark matter. In this letter, we consider dd fusion under the influence of τ̃ where the fusion is enhanced because of a short distance between the two deuterons. We find that one chain of the dd fusion may release an energy of O(10) GeV per stau. We d...

Multi-energy SXR cameras for magnetically confined fusion plasmas (invited).

A compact multi-energy soft x-ray camera has been developed for time, energy and space-resolved measurements of the soft-x-ray emissivity in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Multi-energy soft x-ray imaging provides a unique opportunity for measuring, simultaneously, a variety of important plasma properties (Te, nZ, ΔZeff, and ne,fast). The electron temperature can be obtained by modeling t...
