Status of the FETS Project

The Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at RAL is a demonstrator for front end systems of a future high power proton linac. Possible applications include a linac upgrade for the ISIS spallation neutron source, new future neutron sources, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, high energy physics proton drivers etc. Designed to deliver a 60mA H-minus beam at 3MeV with a 10% duty factor, FETS consists of a high brightness ion source, magnetic low energy beam transport (LEBT), 4-vane 324MHz radio frequency quadrupole, medium energy beam transport (MEBT) containing a high speed beam chopper and non-destructive laser diagnostics. This paper describes the current status of the project and future plans

Sequencing three crocodilian genomes to illuminate the evolution of archosaurs and amniotes

The International Crocodilian Genomes Working Group (ICGWG) will sequence and assemble the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) and Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) genomes. The status of these projects and our planned analyses are described

Design Study of a Test Vessel to Investigate the ISIS H- Penning Ion Source Plasma

La conferenza di Simone Spalvieri e Valentina Del Ciotto, si inseriva nel Ciclo di conferenze intitolato "Il Design per l'Innovazione. L'Innovazione per il Design" tenutosi nel 2016/2017 presso la SAAD di Unicam. La conferenza è stata incentrata sul loro lavoro, i rapporti internazionali, i loro prodotti e la loro visione dell'innovazione. I designer hanno mostrato i loro progetti di successo ma anche i progetti che non hanno funzionato
