In this work, the transmission characteristics of EMPs as a function of distances from the target chamber center (TCC) are studied using B-dot probes. The mean EMP amplitude generated by picosecond laser-target interaction reaches 561 kV m-1, 357 kV m-1, 395 kV m-1, and 341 kV m-1 at 0.32 m, 0.53 m, 0.76 m, and 1 m from TCC, which decreases dramatically from 0.32 m to 0.53 m. However, it shows a fluctuation from 0.53 m to 1 m. The temporal features of EMPs indicate that time-domain EMP signals near the target chamber wall have a wider full width at half maximum compared to that close to TCC, mainly due to the echo oscillation of electromagnetic waves inside the target chamber based on simulation and experimentation. The conclusions of this study will provide a new approach to mitigate strong electromagnetic pulses by decreasing the echo oscillation of electromagnetic waves inside the target chamber during laser coupling with targets.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136281628","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 experiments measured the physical parameters such as discharge current, electric field intensity and instantaneous optical power. The duration of the dark period and the critical charge of streamer-to-leader transition were obtained at high altitude. Based on radial thermal expansion of streamer stem, we established a modified streamer-to-leader transition model of the sphere-plane gap discharge at high altitude, and calculated the stem temperature, stem radii and the duration of streamer-to-leader transition. Compared with measured duration of sphere-plane electrode discharge at an altitude of 2200m, the error rate of the modified model was 0.94%, while the classical model was 6.97%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the modified model.

The biological effects of PAW are closely related to the aqueous reactive species, which can be regulated by the activation process. In this study, the surface plasma-activated air (SAA) and the He + O2 plasma jet (Jet) were parallelly combined (the SAA + Jet combination) or sequential combined (the SAA → Jet combination and the Jet → SAA combination) to prepare plasma-activated saline (PAS). The PAS activated by the combinations exhibited stronger bactericidal effects than that activated by the SAA or the Jet alone. The concentrations of H2O2 and NO2− were higher in the PAS activated by the Jet → SAA combination, while ONOO− were close in the three kinds of PAS and 1O2 were highest in the PAS activated by the SAA + Jet combination. The analysis of scavengers also demonstrated that H2O2, 1O2, and ONOO‒ in the PAS activated by the SAA + Jet combination, and 1O2 in the PAS activated by the Jet → SAA combination played critical roles in bactericidal effects. Further, the effective placement time of the three PAS varied and the PAS activated by the Jet → SAA combination could also inactivate 2.6-log10 of the MRSA cells after placement for more than 60 min. The regulation of reactive species in plasma-activated water through different combinations of plasma devices could improve the directional application of plasma-activated water in the biomedical field.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"58 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136281626","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}

On the J-TEXT tokamak, a multi-channel retarding field analyzer (RFA) probe has been developed to study edge plasma equilibrium profiles under various poloidal divertor and island divertor configurations. The edge radial profile of the ion-to-electron temperature ratio, τ_{i/e}, has been determined, which gradually decreases as the SOL ion self-collisionality, ν_{SOL}^*, increases. This is widely consistent with what has been observed previously from various tokamak experiments. However, the comparison of experimental results under different configurations shows that in the poloidal divertor configuration, even under the same ν_{SOL}^*, τ_{i/e} in the SOL region becomes smaller as the distance from the X-point to the target plate increases. In the island divertor configuration, τ_{i/e} near the O-point is higher than that near the X-point at the same ν_{SOL}^*, and both are higher than the limiter configuration. These results suggest that the magnetic configuration plays a critical role in the energy distributions between electrons and ions at the plasma boundary.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"57 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136281632","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}

To establish the model for the arcing time of the secondary arc and modify the single-phase reclosing sequence, theoretically and experimentally analyzing the evolution process of the short-circuit arc to the secondary arc is critical. In this study, an improved charge simulation method was used to develop the internal space electric field model of the short-circuit arc. The intensity of the electric field was used as an independent variable to describe the initial shape of the secondary arc. A secondary arc evolution model was developed based on this model. Moreover, the accuracy of the model was evaluated by comparing with physical experimental results. When the secondary arc current increased, the arcing time and dispersion increased. There is an overall trend of increasing arc length with increasing arcing time. Nevertheless, there is a reduction in arc length during arc ignition due to short circuits between the arc columns. Furthermore, the arcing time decreased in the range of 0°–90° as the angle between the wind direction and the x-axis increased. This study investigated the method by which short-circuit arcs evolve into secondary arcs. The results can be used to develop the secondary arc evolution model and provide both a technical and theoretical basis for secondary arc suppression.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"58 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136281759","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}

experimental temperature was controlled at three levels: 1350, 1400, and 1450 °C. The results 
showed that slag composition and temperature significantly affected the intensity and stability of

The turbulence spectrum detected by the PCR system exhibits an asymmetry and induced Doppler shift f_D during internal kink mode (IKM) rotation phase. This Doppler shift f_D is the target measurement of Doppler reflectometry, but captured by conventional reflectometry. Results show that the Doppler shift f_D is modulated by the periodic changes in the effective angle between the probing wave and cutoff layer normal, but not by plasma turbulence. Fishbone mode and saturated long-live mode (LLM) are typical IKMs, and this modulation phenomenon is observed in both cases. Moreover, the value of Doppler shift f_D is positively correlated with the amplitude of IKM, even when the latter is small. However, the positive and negative frequency components of the Doppler shift f_D can be asymmetric, which is related to the plasma configuration. A simulated analysis is performed by ray-tracing to verify these observations. These results establish a clear link between the Doppler shift f_D and IKM rotation, and are beneficial to study the characteristics of IKM and related physical phenomena.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"120 45","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136364","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}
