Global scaling of the heat transport in fusion plasmas
Sara Moradi, Johan Anderson, Michele Romanelli +2
A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the he…
PCIe Hot Plug support standardization challenges in ATCA
Miguel Correia, Jorge Sousa, António P. Rodrigues +5
Throughout the last decade, the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) solidified its position as one of the main switched-based crate standards for advanced Phy…
The design and performance of the real time software architecture for the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
N. Cruz, B. Santos, A. Fernandes +9
The neutron detection system for characterization of emissivity in ITER Tokamak during DD and DT experiments poses serious challenges to the performance of the diagnostic control a…
Real-time data compression for data acquisition systems applied to the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
B. Santos, N. Cruz, A. Fernandes +10
To achieve the aim of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera Diagnostic, the data acquisition prototype must be compliant with a sustained 2 MHz peak event for each channel with 128 sample…
FPGA code for the data acquisition and real-time processing prototype of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
Ana Fernandes, Nuno Cruz, Bruno Santos +10
The main role of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera (RNC) diagnostic is to measure in real-time the plasma neutron emissivity profile at high peak count rates for a time duration up to…
