  1. 1. Quantum Computing in Nuclear Physics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Luca Bernecker; [2022]
    Keywords : quantum computing; nuclear physics; qubits; theoretical physics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate many–body systems using simulations of quan- tum computers. Quantum computing is a computational paradigm based on qubits which are defined in a Hilbert space instead of the familiar binary bits. READ MORE

  3. 2. Data Processing in Accelerator-Based Analysis of Wall Materials From Controlled Fusion Devices

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Arvin Quoreshi; [2021]
    Keywords : ERDA; ToF; Ion Beam Analysis; Potku;

    Abstract : The goal for this project was to analyze and understand the noise of the ion beam analysis technique, Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA). This was done by examining two models: Classical models and a prediction model. The prediction model is a parameterized noise distribution model. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling of RF Heating in the JET Tokamak

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Emil Söderman; Wilhelm Holmberg; [2021]
    Keywords : fusion; tokamak; ICRH; RF heating; JET;

    Abstract : Fusion reactors need methods to couple externalpower to confined plasmas. Ion cyclotron resonance heating(ICRH) is a method to radiate electromagnetic waves to couplepower to the kinetic motion of gyrating ions in a plasma. In thisreport we study ICRH with regard to the dispersive effects ofthe confined plasma in the JET tokamak. READ MORE

  5. 4. Metallic dust transport simulations for ITER and DEMO

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Konstantinos Paschalidis; [2021]
    Keywords : ITER; DEMO; Fusion; Metallic dust; ITER; DEMO; Fusion; Metalliskt damm;

    Abstract : Beryllium and tungsten dust transport is simulated for ITER and DEMO using the dust transport code MIGRAINe. By combining many single-particle simulations a statistical analysis is performed. From that, the evolution of the dust inventories in the reactors is studied. Additionally, predictions are made for the locations at which dust evaporates. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fusion energy : Critical analysis of the status and future prospects

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

    Author : Leizuri Zabala; [2018]
    Keywords : Fusion energy; fusion reactors; Tokamak reactors; fusion fuels; ITER;

    Abstract : The need to make maximum use of renewable resources to the detriment of fossil fuels to achieve environmental goals with an increasing energy demand is driving research into the development of technologies to obtain energy from sources that are not currently being exploited, one of them being fusion energy. The aim of this report is to provide a general overview of fusion and to provide a critical opinion on whether fusion will become a commercial energy source in the future, and if so when. READ MORE
