To obtain phase-controlled SR pulses, an ultra-short seed pulse is required to be injected into the interaction space from the direction of the collector, which substitutes the impact of the spontaneous emission from the front edge of the electron beam. It means that, for a conventional Cherenkov oscillator, the injection seed pulse and output gigawatt SR pulse need to share the same channel. Therefore, an additional quasi-optical reflection system is needed to separate these two signals. To optimize such a scheme, we introduce a front extractor near the reflector and an injection channel at the side of the collector, allowing the output and injection channels to be independent of each other. Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that as the diode voltage is 260 kV, the beam current is 3.5 kA, and the magnetic field is 0.42 T, a short SR pulse with peak power of 1.93 GW is obtained. The corresponding conversion factor (ratio of average output power and input DC power) is up to 2.12. When the seed pulse has a rise time of 0.3 ns and a width of 0.2 ns injection, the phase of the seed pulse and the initiated SR pulse are closely correlated with the accuracy of 0.17 rad as the power ratio is down to −25 dB. The advantages of high efficiency and phase control make the oscillator a promising device used for the miniaturization and practicability of coherent summation systems.","PeriodicalId":20175,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Plasmas","volume":"294 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting radiograph captures both the decrease in intensity caused by material absorption along the x-ray path, as well as the phase shift, which is highly sensitive to gradients in density. A significant challenge lies in effectively analyzing the radiographs to decouple the intensity and phase information and accurately ascertain the density profile. Conventional algorithms often yield ambiguous and unrealistic results due to difficulties in including physical constraints and other relevant information. We have developed an algorithm that uses a deep neural network to address these issues and applied it to extract the detailed density profile from an experimental RER. To generalize the applicability of our algorithm, we have developed a technique that quantitatively evaluates the complexity of the phase retrieval process based on the characteristics of the sample and the configuration of the experiment. Accordingly, this evaluation aids in the selection of the neural network architecture for each specific case. Beyond RER, the model has potential applications for other diagnostics where phase retrieval analysis is required.","PeriodicalId":20175,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Plasmas","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A scan of pre-transition density demonstrates the existence of the characteristic minimum density, which requires minimum power to make LH transition. The minimum density in KSTAR shows a tendency to be lower than that evaluated from an empirical scaling law proposed by Ryter et al. [Nucl. Fusion 54, 083003 (2014)]. A comprehensive study of the evolution of low wavenumber electron temperature fluctuations is carried out using electron cyclotron emission imaging diagnostics. An analysis of the fluctuation amplitude in L-mode in terms of the electron collisionality and the electron temperature scaling length suggests that the dissipative trapped electron mode is likely to be a dominant instability before the LH transition. The fluctuation amplitude reduces first as the transition starts. A coherent mode that chirps down from 60 to 20 kHz emerges when the transition further develops. This coherent mode is then shown to revive turbulence that has been reduced significantly during the initial stage of the LH transition. The revival of turbulence could be a possible origin of the absence of the large edge localized mode when the coherent mode is persistent in ECRH-induced H-mode plasmas.","PeriodicalId":20175,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Plasmas","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LTD produced a current with a rise time of about 120 ns and a peak varying from 0.5 to 0.8 MA depending on the terminated connection loads. The conical MITL was designed with a constant gap distance of 8 mm, which was equivalent to the MITL segments that are close to the PHC locations in the multi-level conical MITL in tens of megaampere current drivers. A single PHC was also designed to operate at conditions close to those fielded on tens of MA current drivers such as the Z machine. The experiment results indicated that there was almost no current loss along the constant-gap MITL before the peak current even the MITL figure of merit, i.e., E/cB varied from 0.1 to 1. However, the time when current trails appeared gradually advanced. The effects of the geometric sizes on the current transport efficiency of a single PHC were studied. It was indicated that the current transport efficiency of the single PHC was considerable high while the gap distance is larger than 6 mm. Whereas the PHC current loss was increased to about 30% when the gap is 3 mm. The dynamic impedance of the single PHC was obtained. During the pulse, as the plasma diffused, the convolute shunt impedance rapidly decreased, which was consistent with the known mechanism.","PeriodicalId":20175,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Plasmas","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific properties of the drift waves to be expected in the solar corona have, however, not yet been determined using more advanced numerical models. We investigate the linear properties of density-gradient-driven drift waves in the solar coronal plasma using gyrokinetic ion–electron simulations with the gyrokinetic code Gene, solving the Vlasov–Maxwell equations in five dimensions assuming a simple slab geometry. We determine the frequencies and growth rates of the coronal density gradient-driven drift waves with changing plasma parameters, such as the electron β, the density gradient, the magnetic shear, and additional temperature gradients. To investigate the influence of the finite Larmor radius effect on the growth and structure of the modes, we also compare the gyrokinetic simulation results to those obtained from drift-kinetics. In most of the investigated conditions, the drift wave has positive growth rates that increase with increasing density gradient and decreasing β. In the case of increasing magnetic shear, we find that from a certain point, the growth rate reaches a plateau. Depending on the considered reference environment, the frequencies and growth rates of these waves lie on the order of 0.1 mHz–1 Hz. These values correspond to the observed solar wind density fluctuations near the Sun detected by WISPR, currently of unexplained origin. As a next step, nonlinear simulations are required to determine the expected fluctuation amplitudes and the plasma heating resulting from this mechanism.","PeriodicalId":20175,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Plasmas","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
