Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

We investigate the effect of nozzle on the particle transport in the SMBI experiments for optimization of fueling in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. The diffusion particle during SMBI was evaluated from the emission intensity captured by the fast camera. Compared with the results without nozzle, the particle diffusion was more convergent in the case using the straight nozzle. Simulation results by using Monte-Carlo simulation code (DEGAS) roughly reproduce the 2-D image captured by the fast camera.
