3-D Mesoscale Soft X-ray microtomography for low contrast biological or soft samples, with control of the X-ray range
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract ENEA Laboratories in Frascati developed this mesoscale soft X-ray microtomography for reconstructing the 3-D structure of small, pretty transparent to X-rays objects, with moderate spatial resolution and very low contrast, like biological samples. Commercial microtomographs are not suitable for this application due to […]
Toolbox for fast detection and tracking of dust particles in tokamaks
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract Monitoring the dust within a tokamak is quite challenging: dust particles in the transitory state measure only few microns and despite their high thermal radiation are quite challenging to be characterized in terms of speed, acceleration and change of direction. For years the […]
Investigating radiation damage in materials using ion beams
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract Considering the evolution of microstructures and material properties under extreme radiation conditions, the JANNuS facility has been developed at University Paris-Saclay that allow multi-scale modelling of radiation effects in materials with in situ observations of microstructure modifications. The versatility of conditions in terms […]

CeBr Scintillators
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract Technology, know-‐how, and expertise have been developed by a world-‐renowned nuclear fusion organization within the field of CeBr (Cerium Bromide) Scintillators. These scintillators have been characterized to have a fast response time of less than 20ns and the energy resolution at 511keV is […]
Neutron-insensitive silicon ion detectors for NPA (Neutral Particle Analysis)
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract A leading European nuclear fusion institute has developed a thin silicon strip detector for 10‐1000 keV ions. The detector consists of an active silicon layer (5 µm thick for low‐energy ions, or 25 µm thick for detection of high-‐energy ions) bonded to a […]
Optimum grating parameters for a VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) spectrometer
Sourcing new fusion technologies everywhere in Europe to foster your innovation… Abstract The object of the invention is to provide manufacturing parameters for a holographic diffraction grating on a concave or toroidal surface, which is used as the single optical element in a VUV spectrometer with a flat detector. The spectrometer geometry is also defined alongside […]
