Study of the and reactions close to threshold
Two--kaon production in proton--deuteron collisions has been studied at three
energies close to threshold using a calibrated magnetic spectrograph to measure
the final He and a vertex detector to measure the pair.
Differential and total cross sections are presented for the production of
--mesons, decaying through , as well as for prompt
production. The prompt production seems to follow phase space in both
its differential distributions and in its energy dependence. The amplitude for
the {He} reaction varies little for excess energies below 22
MeV and the value is consistent with that obtained from a threshold
measurement. The angular distribution of the decay pair shows that
near threshold the --mesons are dominantly produced with polarization
along the initial proton direction. No conclusive evidence for
production is found in the data.Comment: 13 figure
Experimental study of the pd(d p) → 3 He ππ reactions close to threshold
New experimental data on the pd → 3
He π+π− reaction obtained with the COSY-MOMO detector below
the three-pion threshold are presented. The reaction was also studied in inverse kinematics with a deuteron beam
and the higher counting rates achieved were especially important at low excess energies. The comparison of
these data with inclusive pd → 3
He X0 rates allowed estimates also to be made of π0π0 production. The results
confirm our earlier findings that, close to threshold, there is no enhancement at low excitation energies in the
π+π− system, where the data seem largely suppressed compared with phase space. Possible explanations for
this behavior, such as strong p waves in the π+π− system or the influence of two-step processes, are explored
On the mechanisms governing gas penetration into a tokamak plasma during a massive gas injection
A new 1D radial fluid code, IMAGINE, is used to simulate the penetration of gas into a tokamak plasma during a massive gas injection (MGI). The main result is that the gas is in general strongly braked as it reaches the plasma, due to mechanisms related to charge exchange and (to a smaller extent) recombination. As a result, only a fraction of the gas penetrates into the plasma. Also, a shock wave is created in the gas which propagates away from the plasma, braking and compressing the incoming gas. Simulation results are quantitatively consistent, at least in terms of orders of magnitude, with experimental data for a D 2 MGI into a JET Ohmic plasma. Simulations of MGI into the background plasma surrounding a runaway electron beam show that if the background electron density is too high, the gas may not penetrate, suggesting a possible explanation for the recent results of Reux et al in JET (2015 Nucl. Fusion 55 093013)
