COSMONAUT: A COmpact spectrometer for measurements of neutrons at the ASDEX upgrade tokamak.
A COmpact Spectrometer for Measurements Of Neutrons at the ASDEX Upgrade Tokamak (COSMONAUT) has been developed for spectroscopy measurements of the 2.45 MeV neutron emission from deuterium plasmas at the ASDEX Upgrade. The instrument is based on a CLYC-7 inorganic scintillator, whereby the detection of fusion neutrons occurs via their interaction with 35Cl nuclei in the detector crystal, leading to a peak in the detector response function and providing excellent neutron/gamma-ray discrimination capabilities. The diagnostics is installed along a radial line of sight and makes use of a digital system to record time resolved data for the whole duration of the discharge. Measurements in ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with neutral beam injection have been carried out and are successfully interpreted using state-of-the-art modeling codes. Next step applications of the diagnostics are in experiments aimed at generating energetic particles by ion cyclotron resonance heating schemes. In these scenarios, COSMONAUT will provide unique information on the acceleration of deuterons beyond the beam injection energy and on their confinement, for comparison with modeling.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
