A Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) based detector was exploited for the first time on the MASTU tokamak during the 2023 campaign to investigate Soft X-Ray (SXR) radiation (1-20keV) emitted from the plasma. SXR radiation carries essential information on electron temperature and density, impurity presence, and Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) activities, m…
Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium based super alloy used in the construction of the vacuum vessel of the Joint European Torus (JET) experimental fusion device. It was selected for its mechanical properties at elevated temperature, being exposed to vacuum baking at >300°C and heat loads of typically 0.5 MW/m2 for recessed areas of t…
