EAST托卡马克上截面效应对电荷交换复合光谱测量结果的影响

离子温度和旋转速度是聚变等离子体中的重要物理参数,在先进实验超导托卡马克EAST(Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak)上电荷交换复合光谱(Charge e Xchange Recombination Spectroscopy,CXRS)诊断是测量这些物理参数的标配诊断之一。由于截面效应的存在,CXRS诊断测量的谱线线型会受到影响,导致得到的离子温度和旋转速度偏离实际值,为了得到真实值,需要对离子温度和旋转速度进行修正。在EAST上,分别采用常用的动力学理论和数值计算方法对测量到的实验数据进行修正,同时对比两种方法对截面效应的修正结果,可以看出两种方法得到的结果趋势基本一致。对2015年EAST上电荷交换复合光谱测量到的典型的实验数据进行修正,结果表明在目前的放电条件下截面效应对离子温度的影响比较小,而对旋转速度的影响低于10%。     

托卡马克等离子体杂质密度的光谱法测量研究

本文介绍了基于托卡马克等离子体被动光谱诊断获得杂质密度的方法。通过被动光谱诊断测量获得杂质线辐射的空间多道弦积分强度分布,利用强度标定系数转换为绝对光亮度分布;通过测量弦与等离子体位形,将弦积分的强度分布反演变换为径向体发射率。根据线辐射强度激发截面求出对应电离态的离子密度,最后采用杂质输运程序模拟计算得出总密度分布。以东方超环(Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak,EAST)托卡马克装置上软X射线-极紫外光谱(Soft X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometers,XEUV)诊断测量到的Mo XXIX-Mo XXXII为例,描叙了获得Mo杂质密度分布的过程,获得的总误差小于10%。     

贝叶斯反卷积在EAST电荷交换复合光谱分析中的应用

电荷交换复合光谱(Charge e Xchange Recombination Spectroscopy,CXRS)诊断是核聚变装置上测量等离子体离子温度和旋转速度的常规诊断之一。然而在实验中,诊断光通过光谱仪后,由于仪器函数的卷积效应,会使测量到的光谱出现明显展宽,影响数据处理的精度,所以需要对实验测量到的光谱进行反卷积处理。本文采用的反卷积方法是基于贝叶斯条件概率公式推导得出,并结合标准灯获取的仪器函数来进行反卷积,分别从仿真和实验两个方面验证了该方法的可靠性。结果表明将贝叶斯反卷积运用到先进实验超导托卡马克(Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak,EAST)电荷交换复合光谱分析中,能有效提高实验测量精度。结合快速极紫外谱仪(Extreme ultraviolet,EUV),对EAST实验中经过贝叶斯反卷积后测量到的光谱进行了杂质谱线识别工作,进一步提高了精度。

Preparation of Zn/TiO2 powder and its photocatalytic performance for oxidation of P-nitrophenol

Zn-doped TiO2 catalysts were prepared using a sol-gel method and characterized by XPS,UV-Vis, BET, XRD in this study. Under the irradiation of simulant sunlight, the photocatalytic activity for the degradation of p-nitrophenol was studied too. After irradiation for 2.5 h, the degradation percentage of p-nitrophenol could rise to more than 80 %. The results showed that the spectrum absorption band edge of Zn/TiO2 powder does not broaden obviously comparing with pure TiO2 powder. Zinc exists as Zn （11）. When calcined at 973 K, there is a new phase as ZnTiO3 in Zn/TiO2 catalyst. The order of photocatalytic activity of Zn/TiO2 catalysts calcined at different temperatures for p-nitrophenol is 773 K 〉 673 K 〉 873 K 〉 573 K 〉 973 K and the photocatalytic activity of Zn/TiO2 catalyst calcined at 773 K is better than TiO2 catalysts heated at the same temperature, and outclasses that of commercial TiO2 catalyst. It also showed that the photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol follows first-order kinetics under the irradiation of simulant sunlight.     

Current status of radiation therapy for prostate cancer

Radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer has been extensively explored in the past. Along with the comprehensive understanding of the biology of prostate cancer and rapid advances in terms of technology, the out- come of treatment for the patients with prostate cancer has improved. The authors review radiotherapy as the primary treatment for the disease, with particular emphasis on the technological advances from both the radiobiological and radiophysics aspects. Nonconventional fractionated irradiation like hyper- or hypo-fractionation has been imple- mented in the clinic, the final results still need to be confirmed in the future. Technological advances like IMRT, IGRT, in the last two decades have significantly improved the delivery of external radiotherapy to the prostate. This has re- sulted in an overall increase in the total dose that can be safely delivered to the prostate, which has led to modest im- provements in the biochemical outcome. However, establishing the standard therapy for prostate cancer remains con- troversial. It is hoped that the next decades will bring continued advances in the development of biologicals that will further improve current clinical outcomes.

为研究含空气蒸汽在水平管内强制对流冷凝换热特性,基于对传热传质过程的分析,建立了管内为环状流与波状流条件下的流动冷凝换热模型。从潜热、显热和液膜3个环节对整个换热过程进行建模,最终得到计算局部冷凝换热系数的理论关系式。模型预测结果与实验数据的对比表明,二者相对偏差在±20%以内,验证了该换热模型的准确性与适用性。通过进一步的研究发现：从换热管入口至出口,随着冷凝的进行,管内换热主要热阻由液膜热阻向气液界面的凝结热阻转变;主流气体对流换热过程基本可忽略。     

Investigations on landmine detection by BF3 detector

Experiments were carried out to investigate the possible use of neutron backscattering for the detection of polyethylene (PE) sample buried in the soil. In detection of landmine by neutrons, the neutron detector and its shield play an important role.

Assessment of radioactivity levels in some oil samples from the western desert, Egypt

Distributions of natural gamma-emitting radionuclides were determined in 93 oil samples collected from some petroleum fields in the western desert of Egypt. The radioisotope activities in the area under investigation lay in the range of (21 ± 4) to (38 ± 13) Bq?L-1 for 226Ra, (9 ± 2) to (15 ± 5) Bq?L-1 for 232Th, and (154 ± 28) to (303 ± 54) Bq?L-1 for 40K. The mean values were 27, 12, and 201 Bq?L-1, respectively. Among oils, variations in radionuclide ac- tivities could be on account of differences in TDS, HCO3, and Ba, with high or low pH. In this environment, oil prop- erties differently affected the mobilization of natural radionuclides. The range of 226Ra variation had been compared with available data from other countries. The calculated absorbed dose rate ranged from 22.33 to 32.66 nGy?h-1 in lo- cation (B) and (E) respectively, which was less than the accepted value.

The role of AGFA high-energy CR in the calibration and quality control of multileaf collimators （MLC）

Linear accelerators equipped with multileaf collimators （MLC） are becoming more common and are widely used in the intensity-modulated radiotherapy （IMRT）. There is an imperative need to ensure the commissioning specification of the linear accelerators for the sake of quality assurance （QA） and quality control （QC）. This paper is aimed to investigate the role of AGFA high-energy CR （Computed Radiography） in calibrating dynamic multileaf collimators and evaluating the accuracy of the leaf position. The result shows that AGFA high-energy CR can easily and conveniently be used to calibrate MLC and verify its position. Hence, the application of AGFA high-energy CR is proved to be an accurate and time-saving method for routine MLC QC, especially when MLC calibration adjustments are required.
