In experiments with magnetically confined hydrogen plasmas (including its isotopes; deuterium and tritium), as investigated in controlled thermonuclear fusion research, hydrogen isotopes, ions and energetic neutral atoms, at energies ranging from a few eV to keV are continually bombarding the first wall materials of the vacuum vessel. The assessment of the extend of the ion implantation into...

The nuclear fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium, will be the main source of energy in future thermonuclear reactors. Charged fusion products of this reaction, α-particles, are born with an average energy of 3.5 MeV. They transfer energy to the thermal plasma during their slowing down, providing the self-sustained deuterium-tritium plasma burn. Adequate confinement of α-particles is...

High energy physics experiments use a sophisticated set of different sub-detector systems. These sub-detectors range from high precision silicon tracking systems to gaseous detectors or calorimeters, with each fulfilling a specific function to help identifying and tracking particles emerging from the collision region. This talk will present the various detectors found inside a high energy...

Although certain experimental techniques involve detection of other particles or radiation wavelengths, X-ray detectors are the primary detection devices in synchrotron radiation applications. This lecture will discuss the specificity of X-ray detection with respect to other type of particle detection and will introduce the technologies that are most suitable for synchrotron radiation. It will...

X-ray optics are used at synchrotron radiation (SR) sources to tailor the X-ray beam characteristics to the needs of the experiment. Such optics may modify the transmitted X-ray spectrum, beam size and divergence, coherence and polarisation. Due to the diversity of experimental techniques implemented in typical light sources, the optical design is usually specific to each beamline and can draw...

A handful of neutron sources around the world provide beams of ’thermal’, ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ neutrons to dedicated and specifically tailored instrumentation for materials structure and dynamics investigation as well as providing a source of neutrons for fundamental and nuclear physics research. The production of neutrons for research instrumentation is for the most part limited to large-scale...

Neutron optics is a key component in neutron scattering experiments. They play the role of defining beam conditions, i.e. direction, divergence, energy and polarisation Since the flux of neutrons is low, optical components have to be highly efficient. Properly designed, they can enhance the power of the source by 10 times, or even more. We give an overview of commonly used neutron optical...

With this lecture, we introduce some of the basic concepts relating to the design and realisation of instruments for optical and infrared astronomy using ground based telescopes. At a large modern observatory such as the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope, the astronomer has access to a wide range of imagers and spectrometers and so may select the instrument best suited to...
