Magnetic confinement fusion relies on plasma heating and plasma control using gyrotron oscillators providing at megawatt power levels. The operational reliability decreases when operating at the performance limits due to increasing parasitic mode activity. This work demonstrates for the first time the automated, fast recovery of nominal gyrotron operation during a pulse by exploiting the hysteretic gyrotron behaviour after a mode switch being in use at the Wendelstein 7-X ECRH facility.
This work presents the development of a new sub-THz source for the generation of trains of coherent high-power ultra-short pulses at 263 GHz via passive mode-locking of two coupled helical gyro-TWTs. For the first time, it is shown that the operation of such passive mode-locked helical gyro-TWTs in the hard excitation regime is of particular importance to reach the optimal coherency of the generated pulses. This could be of particular interest for some new time-domain DNP-NMR methods.
High energy demand is one reason for high costs of carbon fibers. One option to decrease them is to use microwave heating instead of conventional heating. In this work, steps towards a microwave assisted process during the stabilization phase are presented. In-situ dielectric measurements are performed and a reaction kinetics model is setup in connection to the dielectric loss. This allows to calculate a stabilization degree and fiber temperatures leading to a basic process understanding.
This proceedings volume collects review articles that summarize research conducted at the Munich Centre of Advanced Computing (MAC) from 2008 to 2012. The articles address the increasing gap between what should be possible in Computational Science and Engineering due to recent advances in algorithms, hardware, and networks, and what can actually be achieved in practice; they also examine novel computing architectures, where computation itself is a multifaceted process, with hardware awareness or ubiquitous parallelism due to many-core systems being just two of the challenges faced. Topics cover both the methodological aspects of advanced computing (algorithms, parallel computing, data exploration, software engineering) and cutting-edge applications from the fields of chemistry, the geosciences, civil and mechanical engineering, etc., reflecting the highly interdisciplinary nature of the Munich Centre of Advanced Computing.
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
Das Institut für Hochleistungsimpuls- und Mikrowellentechnik (IHM) forscht auf den Gebieten der gepulsten Leistung und der Hochleistungsmikrowellentechnologie. Die Anwendungen für Impulsstromtechnologien reichen von der Materialbearbeitung bis zur Bioelektrik. Hochleistungsmikrowellentechnologien konzentrieren sich auf HF-Quellen (Gyrotrons) für die Elektronenzyklotronresonanzheizung von magnetisch eingeschlossenen Plasmen und auf Anwendungen für die Materialbearbeitung bei Mikrowellenfrequenzen. - The Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology (IHM) is doing research in the areas of pulsed power and high-power microwave technologies. Applications for pulsed power technologies are ranging from materials processing to bioelectrics. High power microwave technologies are focusing on RF sources (gyrotrons) for electron cyclotron resonance heating of magnetically confined plasmas and on applications for materials processing at microwave frequencies.
