    Description: Non-thermal x-ray radiation ( E γ up to 150 keV) is measured in the T-10 tokamaks during disruption instability using two sets of CdTe detectors (10 vertical and 7 horizontal view detectors). Special narrow cupper tubes collimators with lead screening and CdTe detectors integrated with amplifiers inside metallic containers provides enhanced spatial resolution of the system (r ∼ 3 cm) and assures protection from the parasitic hard x-ray ( E γ up to 1.5 MeV) and electromagnetic loads during disruption. Spatial localization of the nonthermal x-ray emissivity is reconstructed using tomographic Cormack technique with SVD matrix inversion. Analysis indicated appearance of an intensive non-thermal x-ray bursts during initial stage of the disruptions at high density. The bursts are characterized by repetitive spikes (2–3 kHz) of the x-ray emissivity from the plasma core area. Analysis indicated that the spikes can be connected with acceleration of the non-thermal electrons in enhanced longitudinal electric fields induced during energy quench at the disruption instability.

    Description: Symmetry, Vol. 10, Pages 323: Temperature-Dependent s± ↔ s++ Transitions in the Multiband Model for Fe-Based Superconductors with Impurities Symmetry doi: 10.3390/sym10080323 Authors: V. A. Shestakov M. M. Korshunov O. V. Dolgov We study the dependence of the superconducting gaps on both the disorder and the temperature within the two-band model for iron-based materials. In the clean limit, the system is in the s± state with sign-changing gaps. Scattering by nonmagnetic impurities leads to the change of the sign of the smaller gap, resulting in a transition from the s± to the s++ state with the sign-preserving gaps. We show here that the transition is temperature-dependent. Thus, there is a line of s±→s++ transition in the temperature–disorder phase diagram. There is a narrow range of impurity scattering rates, where the disorder-induced s±→s++ transition occurs at low temperatures, but then the low-temperature s++ state transforms back to the s± state at higher temperatures. With increasing impurity scattering rate, the temperature of such s++→s± transition shifts to the critical temperature Tc, and only the s++ state is left for higher amounts of disorder.

    Description: Experiments in the T-10 tokamak [Alikaev et al. , Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 30 , 381 (1988)] have demonstrated the possibility of control of the plasma current and prevention of formation of the non-thermal (E γ  〉 150 keV) electron beams after an energy quench at the density limit disruption using electron cyclotron heating (ECRH) and controlled operation of the Ohmic power supply system. Quasi-stable plasma operation with repetitive sawtooth oscillations can be restored after an energy quench using high auxiliary power P ec  〉 2–5 P oh . Optimal conditions of the plasma discharge recovery after an energy quench using auxiliary heating are identified. At high auxiliary power, restoration of the plasma discharge can be provided with the location of the EC resonance zone within the whole plasma cross section. The auxiliary power required for discharge restoration is minimal when the power is deposited around the m = 2, n = 1 magnetic island (here m and n poloidal and toroidal wave numbers). The threshold ECRH power increases linearly with plasma current. Prevention of the non-thermal electron beams during density limit disruption is associated with stabilization of bursts of the magnetohydrodynamic modes, creation of the saturated magnetic islands, and heating of the background plasma using ECRH. Plasma discharge recovery after an energy quench in a tokamak reactor using auxiliary heating and controllable reduction of the plasma current is discussed.

    Notes: Several techniques for inferring the degree of flux symmetry in indirectly driven cylindrical hohlraums have been developed over the past several years for eventual application to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [Paisner et al., Laser Focus World 30, 75 (1994)]. These methods use various ignition capsule surrogates, including non-cryogenic imploded capsules [Hauer et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 2488 (1995)], backlit aerogel foamballs [Amendt et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 66, 785 (1995)], reemission balls [Delamater, Magelssen, and Hauer, Phys. Rev. E 53, 5240 (1996)], and backlit thinshells [Pollaine et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 2357 (2001)]. Recent attention has focussed on the backlit thinshells as a promising means for detecting higher-order Legendre flux asymmetries, e.g., P6 and P8, which are predicted to be important sources of target performance degradation on the NIF for levels greater than 1% [Haan et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 2490 (1995)]. A key property of backlit thinshells is the strong amplification of modal flux asymmetry imprinting with shell convergence. A simple single-parameter analytic description based on a rocket model is presented which explores the degree of linearity of the shell response to an imposed flux asymmetry. Convergence and mass ablation effects introduce a modest level of nonlinearity in the shell response. The effect of target fabrication irregularities on shell distortion is assessed with the rocket model and particular sensitivity to shell thickness variations is shown. The model can be used to relate an observed or simulated backlit implosion trajectory to an ablation pressure asymmetry history. Ascertaining this history is an important element for readily establishing the degree of surrogacy of a symmetry target for a NIF ignition capsule. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Several targets are described that in simulations give yields of 1–30 MJ when indirectly driven by 0.9–2 MJ of 0.35 μm laser light. The article describes the targets, the modeling that was used to design them, and the modeling done to set specifications for the laser system in the proposed National Ignition Facility. Capsules with beryllium or polystyrene ablators are enclosed in gold hohlraums. All the designs utilize a cryogenic fuel layer; it is very difficult to achieve ignition at this scale with a noncryogenic capsule. It is necessary to use multiple bands of illumination in the hohlraum to achieve sufficiently uniform x-ray irradiation, and to use a low-Z gas fill in the hohlraum to reduce filling of the hohlraum with gold plasma. Critical issues are hohlraum design and optimization, Rayleigh–Taylor instability modeling, and laser–plasma interactions. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A two-dimensional [2d(x,y)] fluid code has been developed to explore nonlocal dissipative drift-wave turbulence and anomalous transport. In order to obtain steady-state turbulence, the y-averaged fluctuating density 〈n〉 has been forced to be zero in simulations, thus the difficulty of choosing proper sources and sinks in turbulence simulation codes has been avoided. If Ln(very-much-greater-than)Lc or Lαlc(very-much-greater-than)Lc, where Ln is the density gradient scale length, Lc the turbulence correlation length Lc, and Lαlc the adiabaticity-layer width, it has been shown that "local'' turbulence simulations give reasonable results. However, for Ln∼Lc, or Lαlc∼Lc "local'' turbulence codes are found to overestimate the flux. For a family of hyperbolic tangent background density profiles, n0(x)=nm−n1 tanh[(2x−Lx)/2Δn] with n1〈0.5nm, it has been demonstrated that the nonlocality of the turbulence leads to a transition from local gyro-Bohm (Dlocal(approximately-equal-to)7.6(Te/eB)[ρs/Ln(x)] [αlc(x)/0.01]−1/3), where αlc(x)=α(x)/κ(x)〈1, to nonlocal gyro-Bohm transport scaling [Dnonlocal(approximately-equal-to)7.6(Te/eB)(n1ρs/nmΔn) (αnlc/0.01)−1/3(Δn/40ρs)2/5 for αnlc(x)=α/κmax〈1, κ(x)=ρs/Ln(x) and α=k2(parallel)χe]. For the case Φ0(x)=−n0(x) with the model hyperbolic tangent density profiles n0(x), velocity shear increases the turbulence flux by 230% and the root-mean-square (RMS) fluctuating density by 36%. Otherwise, for Φ0(x)=n0(x), the turbulence flux is reduced by 71% and the RMS value of fluctuating density is decreased by 31% by velocity shear effects. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A hydrodynamic-diffusion code is used to simulate a point explosion. The gas motion is governed by both hydrodynamics and nonlinear heat conduction and is a combination of the well-known, self-similar Taylor–Sedov spherically expanding shock wave and the spherically expanding thermal wave. Two problems are discussed. In the first problem, a similarity solution exists if the diffusion coefficient is given in terms of powers of density and temperature which also define the ambient spatial density profile. If the initial explosion energy is small, the diffusive effect is limited to a region behind the shock. However, if the explosion energy is large, the thermal front precedes the hydrodynamic front, which is then an isothermal shock. In the second problem, the initial density is constant and the diffusion coefficient depends on only a power of the temperature. In this case, the solution is not self-similar; in early times, heat conduction dominates; in late times—hydrodynamics. The problems were previously analyzed by Reinicke and Meyer-ter-Vehn in terms of similarity variables. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
