Evaluation of X-ray Camera As a Tool for Automated Beam CharacterizationMarthin, Otte January 2017 (has links)
Several methods for analysing materials and proteins use highly concentrated beams of X-rays, e.g. SAXS and X-ray crystallography. To evaluate the outgoing beam, it is of high importance to know the light distribution of the incoming beam. Previously, a method for this has been to focus the X-ray beam onto a pinhole in front of a photodiode, a so called pinhole measurement. Although this method gives information about the radial distribution of the beam, it is very time-consuming. In this report a faster alternative has been developed and evaluated. In this new method an image is taken with an X-ray camera in the focus of the beam. Algorithms are then used to replicate a pinhole measurement by applying virtual pinholes. Different pixels in an image act differently, referred to as spatial noise. This must be compensated for before information about the beam may be extracted. To do this, the camera noise was characterized and a calibration procedure developed for its minimization. It was shown that the spatial noise was greatly reduced, making the temporal shot noise the new largest noise source. Although the noise was successfully reduced, the calibration procedure failed to accurately remove all signal not originating from registered photons. Measurements done with low photon intensities, large exposure times or at high temperatures are therefore less accurate. The measured camera signal was transformed into incident photon intensity using a responsivity proportionality constant. This constant was estimated by comparing the results from real and virtual pinhole measurements for several photon intensities and pinholes. The results gave a responsivity proportionality constant of 0,03 DN/X-ph. Further measurements were done concerning the temperature dependence of the camera responsivity and to investigate possible bleaching. The results indicated that the responsivity was held constant under changing temperatures and that the camera remained unbleached during the 114h long measurement. Finally, real and virtual pinhole measurements were done for a series of pinholes and compared using the responsivity proportionality constant. A maximum relative deviation of 6% was measured between the two, indicating that virtual pinhole measurements give accurate results. The largest deviations of the measurement seem to occur when using small or large pinholes. These errors, however, have a high potential of being further minimized, resulting in higher accuracy.

Most probable magnetohydrostatic equilibria for tokamaks and reversed field pinchesAmbrosiano, John Joseph 01 January 1980 (has links)
The determination of magnetohydrostatic equilibria usually requires that two of the equilibrium functions be given. as there is usually no a priori basis for specifying the form of these two functions, the functions and the equilibria they determine may be considered random.;In this dissertation, the author reviews a recent statistical method for determining the equilibrium of an axially symmetric cylindrical plasma which is most probable (in the maximum entropy sense) given four global constraints (i.e., energy, magnetic helicity, longitudinal magnetic flux, and longitudinal current flux). Previous results from this model have been limited to non-negative random equilibrium functions (B(,z), J(,z), where B is the magnetic field and J is the current density), and to analytically derived solutions of the determining equations in which one constraint (magnetic helicity) has been relaxed.;The present work extends these results to the fully constrained problem by presenting numerically computed solutions of the governing equations. Some of these solutions are specialized to values of the constraints appropriate to tokamaks. States which are approximately force-free (B = J x const.) are shown to exist as solutions to the most probable state equations.;A further extension of the model is attempted in order to alleviate the restriction to non-negative random equilibrium functions. The extended model is applied to the problem of finding most probable equilibria with reversed magnetic fields. An examination of solutions constrained to different values of energy and magnetic helicity shows a tendency toward low pressure equilibria when the energy-to-helicity ratio is lowered. This result is consistent with the Bessel function model of reverse-field equilibria in which dynamical relaxation of the energy with respect to a fixed magnetic helicity results in pressureless, Bellel function equilibria.;A study is made of the influence of the pinch ratio, an experimental parameter, on the degree of magnetic field reversal in the most probable state model. The dependence of solutions on this parameter is found to be consistent qualitatively with experiments.

Painleve singularity analysis applied to charged particle dynamics during reconnectionLarson, Jay Walter 01 January 1992 (has links)
For a plasma in the collisionless regime, test-particle modelling can lend some insight into the macroscopic behavior of the plasma, e.g conductivity and heating. A common example for which this technique is used is a system with electric and magnetic fields given by B = {dollar}\delta y{dollar}cx x + xcx y + {dollar}\gamma{dollar}cx z and E = {dollar}\epsilon{dollar}cx z, where {dollar}\delta{dollar}, {dollar}\gamma{dollar}, and {dollar}\epsilon{dollar} are constant parameters. This model can be used to model plasma behavior near neutral lines, ({dollar}\gamma{dollar} = 0), as well as current sheets ({dollar}\gamma{dollar} = 0, {dollar}\delta{dollar} = 0). The integrability properties of the particle motion in such fields might affect the plasma's macroscopic behavior, and we have asked the question "For what values of {dollar}\delta{dollar}, {dollar}\gamma{dollar}, and {dollar}\epsilon{dollar} is the system integrable?" to answer this question, we have employed Painleve singularity analysis, which is an examination of the singularity properties of a test particle's equations of motion in the complex time plane. This analysis has identified two field geometries for which the system's particle dynamics are integrable in terms of the second Painleve transcendent: the circular O-line case and the case of the neutral sheet configuration. These geometries yield particle dynamics that are integrable in the Liouville sense (i.e. there exist the proper number of integrals in involution) in an extended phase space which includes the time as a canonical coordinate, and this property is also true for nonzero {dollar}\gamma{dollar}. The singularity property tests also identified a large, dense set of X-line and O-line field geometries that yield dynamics that may possess the weak Painleve property. In the case of the X-line geometries, this result shows little relevance to the physical nature of the system, but the existence of a dense set of elliptical O-line geometries with this property may be related to the fact that for {dollar}\epsilon{dollar} positive, one can construct asymptotic solutions in the limit {dollar}t \to \infty{dollar}.

Magnetic field strength of toroidal plasma equilibriaGarren, David Alan 01 January 1991 (has links)
The goal of nuclear fusion research is to confine a deuterium-tritium plasma at a sufficiently high temperature (15 keV) and density (3 $\times$ 10$\sp{20}$ m$\sp{-3}$) for a sufficient length of time (1 sec) to produce net fusion power. One means to attain the required plasma confinement is to embed the plasma within a magnetic field. The global structure of this magnetic field determines the variation of magnetic field strength within the surfaces of constant plasma pressure. This field strength variation in turn determines many of the stability and confinement properties of the plasma. This dissertation gives the first detailed exposition of the spectrum of possible forms for magnetic field strength corresponding to toroidal plasma equilibria, both within any three-dimensional volume and within any two-dimensional surface of constant plasma pressure. Constraints due to the toroidicity of the configuration and the divergence-free property of the magnetic field are found to limit the form of the field strength. Three-dimensional stellarator equilibria corresponding to a particular form of the magnetic field strength are especially interesting. These "quasi-helically symmetric" equilibria are non-axisymmetric, toroidal configurations in which the magnetic field strength depends on only one angular coordinate, instead of two, within the constant plasma pressure surfaces. Unlike conventional stellarator equilibria, these quasi-helically symmetric equilibria exhibit the favorable confinement properties of axisymmetric tokamak equilibria. We show that stellarators with exact quasi-helical symmetry do not to exist, but that good approximations can be found.

A Delta-f Monte Carlo method to calculate parameters in plasmasSasinowski, Maciek 01 January 1995 (has links)
A Monte Carlo code has been developed which very efficiently calculates plasma parameters, such as currents, potentials and transport coefficients for a fully three dimensional magnetic field configuration. The code computes the deviation, f, of the exact distribution function, f, from the Maxwellian, {dollar}F\sb{lcub}M{rcub},{dollar} with {dollar}\psi{dollar} the toroidal magnetic flux enclosed by a pressure surface and H the Hamiltonian. The particles in the simulation are followed with a traditional Monte Carlo scheme consisting of an orbit step in which new values for the positions and momenta are obtained and a collision step in which a Monte Carlo equivalent of the Lorentz operator is applied to change the pitch of each particle. Since the {dollar}\delta f{dollar} code calculates only the deviations from the Maxwellian rather than the full distribution function, it is about 10{dollar}\sp4{dollar} times as efficient as other Monte Carlo techniques used to calculate currents in plasmas.;The {dollar}\delta f{dollar} code was used to study the aspect ratio and collisionality dependence of the bootstrap current and two Fourier components of the Pfirsch-Schluter current. It was also used to calculate electric potentials within magnetic surfaces due to the explicit enforcement of the quasi-neutrality condition. The code also calculated transport coefficients for the ions and electrons under various conditions. The agreement between the values predicted by the code for the plasma currents and analytic theory is excellent. The transport parameters calculated for the ions and electrons are in qualitative agreement with values predicted from neoclassical transport theory, including transport induced by a toroidal ripple. The in-surface electric potentials induced by explicitly enforcing the quasi-neutrality condition are too small to significantly enhance transport across the magnetic surfaces.
