Analysis and mitigation of pulse-pile-up tail artifacts in warm-plasma pulse-height X-ray spectra
Taosif Ahsan, Charles Swanson, Christopher Galea +4
Pulse pile-up in pulse-height energy analyzers increases when the incident rate of pulses increases relative to the inverse of the dead time per pulse of the detection system. Chan…

Plane strain optimization of conductor and structure grading in the inner leg of a Tokamak toroidal field coil
Charles PS Swanson
I present the results of the analytic plane strain optimization of the structure and conductor grading in the inner leg of a Tokamak toroidal field coil. The coil is assumed to be…

Electron heating in 2-D: combining Fermi-Ulam acceleration and magnetic-moment non-adiabaticity in a mirror-configuration plasma
C. P. S. Swanson, S. A. Cohen, C. A. Galea
We analyze a new mechanism for the creation and confinement of energetic electrons in a mirror-configuration plasma. A Fermi-Ulam-type process, driven by end-localized coherent ele…
