TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the close physical proximity of the Gas Puff Imaging (GPI) and Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) diagnostics on the National Spherical torus Experiment (NSTX) is leveraged to directly compare fluctuation measurements, and to study the local effects of the GPI neutral deuterium puff during Hmode plasmas without large Edge Localized Modes.

TL;DR: The e2v technologies CCD54, or sweptcharge device (SCD) has been extensively radiation tested for use in the Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS) instrument, to be launched as a part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chandrayaa-1 payload in 2008.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development and qualification of high power dielectric multiplexers at C-band and Lband for commercial satellite applications is described, and new packaging techniques and the employment of the single mode Dielectric filter configuration has simplified fabrication and tuning while reducing mass and volume by more than 40%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the current status of their program to apply Photonic Band Gap (PBG) concepts to produce novel high-energy, high-intensity accelerator cavities, and present further studies, including MAFIA-based numerical calculations and experimental measurements, demonstrating the feasibility of using the proposed structure in a real accelerator application.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used transformation optics to compress a transmission line based Rotman lens by 27 percent along the optical axis while maintaining the beam steering range, gain and side lobe amplitudes over the full frequency range of the original lens.
