Using X ray absorption spectroscopy we can explore how matter behaves under extreme conditions, like those found inside gas giant planets. New paper by Dave Riley’s group @QUBelfast with @bkettle and Rory Baggott from my group @DoP_Imperial. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/a…
The pioneering spirit is embedded in our DNA. Today, we introduce a new series called ‘Fusion Pioneers’, a behind-the-scenes look at the work our team. First up is Cary Colgan, Plasma Diagnostician, whose work in diagnostics involves looking into the heart of fusion plasmas.
If you missed the talk it’s on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=Kfw2sq…
Inaugural done. What a great evening! Lovely to have so many friends, family, colleagues and students come along
When using a laser wakefield accelerator, if your experiment alters the beam proprieties before you can measure them, what can you do? With @MattStreeterUK we trained a neural net to predict the electron spectrum using a suite of non-invasive diagnostics doi.org/10.1017/hpl.20…
