IAEAL 13-00805 FOREWORD Through its coordinated research activities, the IAEA promotes the development and application of nuclear technologies in Member States. The scientific and technical knowledge required for the construction and operation of large nuclear fusion research facilities, including ITER and the Laser Mégajoule in France, and the Z machine and the National Ignition Facility in the United States of America, necessitates several accompanying research and development programmes in physics and technology. This is particularly true in the areas of materials science and fusion technology. Hence, the long standing IAEA effort to conduct coordinated research projects (CRPs) in these areas is aimed at: (i) the development of appropriate technical tools to investigate the issue of materials damage and degradation in a fusion plasma environment; and (ii) the emergence of a knowledge based understanding of the various processes underlying materials damage and degradation, thereby leading to the identification of suitable candidate materials fulfilling the stringent requirements of a fusion environment in any next step facility. Dense magnetized plasma (DMP) devices serve as a first test bench for testing of fusion relevant plasma facing materials, diagnostic development and calibration, technologies and scaling to conceptual principles of larger devices while sophisticated testing facilities such as the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) are being designed. The CRP on Integrated Approach to Dense Magnetized Plasmas Applications in Nuclear Fusion Technology described herein was initiated in 2007 with the participation of 12 research institutions in 8 Member States and was concluded in 2011. It was designed with specific research objectives falling into two main categories: support to mainstream fusion research and development of DMP technology. This publication is a compilation of the individual reports submitted by the 12 CRP participants. These reports discuss and present results of the research work undertaken as well as further expected, important spin-off applications of DMP devices. The IAEA officers responsible for the publication were R. Kamendje and T. Desai of the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences.

Many companies, especially in the manufacturing industries, have taken steps to integrate green initiatives into their high-level corporate strategies. Governments have also been active in implementing various initiatives designed to increase corporate responsibility and accountability towards environmental issues. In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, there are growing concerns over future environmental impact as enormous fabs expand and new generation of equipments become larger and more powerful. To address these concerns, Gigaphoton has implemented various green initiatives for many years under the EcoPhoton™ program. The objective of this program is to drive innovations in technology and services that enable manufacturers to significantly reduce both the financial and environmental “green cost” of laser operations in high-volume manufacturing environment (HVM) – primarily focusing on electricity, gas and heat management costs. One example of such innovation is Gigaphoton’s Injection-Lock system, which reduces electricity and gas utilization costs of the laser by up to 50%. Furthermore, to support the industry’s transition from 300mm to the next generation 450mm wafers, technologies are being developed to create lasers that offer double the output power from 60W to 120W, but reducing electricity and gas consumption by another 50%.

  • Turbulence and Aeolian Morphodynamics in Craters on Mars: Application to Gale Crater, Landing Site of the Curiosity Rover
    16TH EUROPEAN TURBULENCE CONFERENCE, 21-24 AUGUST, 2017, STOCKHOLM,SWEDEN TURBULENCE AND AEOLIAN MORPHODYNAMICS IN CRATERS ON MARS: APPLICATION TO GALE CRATER, LANDING SITE OF THE CURIOSITY ROVER William Anderson1, Gary Kocurek2 & Kenzie Day2 1Mechanical Engineering Dept., Univ. Texas at Dallas, Richardson, Texas, USA 2Dept. Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences, Univ. Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA Mars is a dry planet with a thin atmosphere. Aeolian processes – wind-driven mobilization of sediment and dust – are the dominant mode of landscape variability on the dessicated landscapes of Mars. Craters are common topographic features on the surface of Mars, and many craters on Mars contain a prominent central mound (NASA’s Curiosity rover was landed in Gale crater, shown in Figure 1a [1], while Figures 1b and 1c show Henry and Korolev crater, respectively). These mounds are composed of sedimentary fill and, therefore, they contain rich information on the evolution of climatic conditions on Mars embodied in the stratigraphic “layering” of sediments. Many other craters no longer house a mound, but contain sediment and dust from which dune fields and other features form (see, for example, Victoria Crater, Figure 1d). Using density-normalized large-eddy simulations, we have modeled turbulent flows over crater-like topographies that feature a central mound. Resultant datasets suggest a deflationary mechanism wherein vortices shed from the upwind crater rim are realigned to conform to the crater profile via stretching and tilting. This was accomplished using three- dimensional datasets (momentum and vorticity) retrieved from LES. As a result, helical vortices occupy the inner region of the crater and, therefore, are primarily responsible for aeolian morphodynamics in the crater (radial katabatic flows are also important to aeolian processes within the crater [2]).

  • Simultaneous Ultra-Fast Imaging and Neutron Emission from a Compact Dense Plasma Focus Fusion Device
    instruments Article Simultaneous Ultra-Fast Imaging and Neutron Emission from a Compact Dense Plasma Focus Fusion Device Nathan Majernik, Seth Pree, Yusuke Sakai, Brian Naranjo, Seth Putterman and James Rosenzweig * ID Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA; [email protected] (N.M.); [email protected] (S.P.); [email protected] (Y.S.); [email protected] (B.N.); [email protected] (S.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +310-206-4541 Received: 12 February 2018; Accepted: 5 April 2018; Published: 11 April 2018 Abstract: Recently, there has been intense interest in small dense plasma focus (DPF) devices for use as pulsed neutron and X-ray sources. Although DPFs have been studied for decades and scaling laws for neutron yield versus system discharge current and energy have been established (Milanese, M. et al., Eur. Phys. J. D 2003, 27, 77–81), there are notable deviations at low energies due to contributions from both thermonuclear and beam-target interactions (Schmidt, A. et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 2012, 109, 1–4). For low energy DPFs (100 s of Joules), other empirical scaling laws have been found (Bures, B.L. et al., Phys. Plasmas 2012, 112702, 1–9). Although theoretical mechanisms to explain this change have been proposed, the cause of this reduced efficiency is not well understood. A new apparatus with advanced diagnostic capabilities allows us to probe this regime, including variants in which a piston gas is employed. Several complementary diagnostics of the pinch dynamics and resulting X-ray neutron production are employed to understand the underlying mechanisms involved.

    Focus Fusion Report October 17, 2017 Summary: • UC San Diego CER to Collaborate • Two More DPF Groups Aim to Use pB11 in 2018 • IEEE Spectrum Reports on LPPFusion • Former Fusion Chief Advocates pB11 in Physics Today UC San Diego Center for Energy Research, LPPFusion to Collaborate on Fusion Energy Research The ideal energy source is the goal of a new collaboration between the Center for Energy Research (CER) at UC San Diego and LPPFusion, Inc. The collaboration, formalized with an agreement on October 2, aims at the development of the dense plasma focus (DPF) device for fusion energy. “The alternate fusion schemes offer a potential route to fusion energy that could be faster and much cheaper than other approaches," explains CER Director, Farhat N. Beg. “LPPFusion is a leader in this field and will make available to CER its research data and expertise to help us set up our own DPF facility at UC San Diego.” LPPFusion’s FF-1 device is one of only a few mega-ampere DPFs in the world. Our research in the coming year will involve the first experiments using hydrogen-boron fuel. This fuel produces energy in the form of charged particles only, not neutrons, which both eliminates radioactive waste and makes possible inexpensive direct conversion of energy to electricity. “The collaboration with the Center for Energy Research will help us to better analyze and understand our data,” said LPPFusion President and Chief Scientist Eric J. Lerner. “Their expertise in plasma simulation will aid our efforts in modeling our experiments. We also expect that, once their own DPF is functioning, we can perform joint experiments that will help demonstrate how the DPF energy output scales with energy input.

  • 6 5 • Vacuum Ultraviolet Ar Excimer Emission Initiated by High Intensity Laser Produced Electrons
    JP0050803 JAERI-Cont" 2000-006 6 5 • Vacuum Ultraviolet Ar Excimer Emission Initiated by High Intensity Laser Produced Electrons Shoichi Kubodera and Wataru Sasaki Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Photon Science Center, Miyazaki University Gakuen Kibanadai Nishi 1-1, Miyazaki, 889-2192 Japan We have observed Ar2* emission using a tabletop femtosecond high intensity laser as an excitation source. High intensity laser produced electrons via an optical field induced ionization (OFI) process initiated the Ar2* production kinetics, which made themselves analogous to those produced in an electron beam produced plasma. A fast conductive cooling of the OFI plasma was found to be appropriate to initiate the excimer formation kinetics more efficiently. Keywords: Vacuum ultraviolet, Excimer molecule, Short pulse laser, Conductive cooling There have been considerable demands for the development of compact short wavelength lasers in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectral region. Such compact short wavelength lasers would be applicable to various scientific and industrial fields, such as photochemistry, biological science, and new types of materials processing. Currently available practical compact VUV lasers are the ArF excimer laser at 193 tun and the F2 laser at 157 run, both of which are excited by a compact discharge device. Recently more attention is paid to short wavelength lasers in the VUV in the future optical lithography industry. Rare gas excimers have long been one of the very few laser media in the VUV spectral region [1]. The emission wavelength of Ar2* is 126 run which is long enough to use transmission optical elements such as MgF2 and LiF. The Kr2* laser has an even longer emission wavelength centered at 147 mn which relaxes the conditions for optics and would become a competitor to the F2 laser at 157 run.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.
