摘要:
An apparatus for generating neutrons and protons which includes a vacuum vessel having anode means substantially within vacuum vessel. The apparatus further includes at least one cathode wire grid which defines a central volume and is concave towards a central region of the vacuum vessel. The cathode wire grid is permeable to gas and to ions and disposed between the anode means. The apparatus further includes a means for introducing controlled amounts of reactive gas into the vacuum vessel and the central volume to obtain an internal pressure of the vacuum vessel. Finally, the apparatus includes means for applying an electric potential between the anode means and the cathode wire grid to produce a glow discharge caused by ions produced between the anode means and the cathode wire grid. The glow discharge is substantially determined by design criteria of the cathode wire grid and the internal pressure of the vacuum vessel.
摘要:
Coherent light from a pulsed laser (5) is focused by a lens (4) onto a liquid helium film (21) formed by capillary action on bent wire (29) in a vacuum chamber (31). A coherent boson beam is produced by the interaction of the laser light with the liquid helium. The boson beam is extracted through a vacuum transport system (17). A fusion reactor using a coherent boson beam so produced is also disclosed.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for generating a nearly mono-energetic beam of atoms at velocities on the order of several km/s (energies of 1-10eV) and for achieving modification of the surface properties of a target (40) by the beam. A gas is forced through a nozzle throat (16) into a previously evacuated expansion nozzle (28) resulting in the acceleration of the gas in a confined flow. Laser radiation is applied to the gas flow wto cause breakdown and dissociation of the gas into an atomic plasma. The plasma is allowed to expand within the nozzle cone (28) reaching a high velocity in the desired range. The beam is generated within a vacuum chamber (12).

Ultracold atoms sensor allowing rotational velocity to be measured about a measurement axis (14), said sensor comprising: means suitable for generating first and second ultracold atom traps (T1, T2), one trap allowing a cloud of ultracold atoms (12) to be immobilised in an internal state different from the other trap, at a preset distance from said measurement plane, said means comprising ◊ at least first and second waveguides (CPW1, CPW2) that are suitable for propagating microwaves with angular frequencies ωa and ωb, said waveguides being non-secant and placed symmetrically with respect to an axis called the axis of symmetry (Sy), ◊ and conductive wires integrated into said chip (1) and suitable for passing DC currents; said means being configured to modify the energy of said ultracold atoms so as to create a potential minima for the ultracold atoms in the internal state |a> and a potential minima for the ultracold atoms in the internal state |b>, thus forming said first and second ultracold atom traps, and to move said traps (T1, T2) along a closed path (16), said path being traced in one direction by the ultracold atoms of the first trap and in the opposite direction by the ultracold atoms of the second trap.
