    Notes: Some diagnostic components in ITER will be subject to high levels of radiation (neutrons and gammas) and changes in their physical properties can result. During the ITER EDA an extensive range of tests on relevant materials, e.g., window materials, metals, and insulators, have been carried out and the changes in their physical properties have been measured. The effects examined include radiation induced electrical damage (RIED) and radiation induced conductivity (RIC) in potential insulators; radiation induced absorption and radio luminescence in potential optical materials; and changes to the reflectivity and surface properties of bulk metal mirrors. The results give a database of information which is of use to the designers of ITER diagnostic systems. Recent and planned work is concentrating on the testing of diagnostic prototypes in relevant radiation fields. The results obtained thus far will be summarized and the planned work outlined. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A prototype of a new mechanical sensor for steady-state magnetic field has been manufactured and tested which consists of a sensing coil and a load cell. The mechanical force sensor is a new type of magnetic sensor feasible for frequencies smaller than 0.1 Hz and employs the measurement of steady-state electromagnetic force. The sensor has been examined, and the following results were obtained. (1) A signal proportionality to simulated force was obtained in the load cell tests. (2) Reproducible signal drift concerning the temperature was obtained over the range of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor environment. (3) Signal proportionality to the magnetic field was obtained in the steady-state magnetic field measurement tests. (4) The significant increase of load cell linearity error was not observed after irradiation of 7.2×106 Gy. These results indicate that the mechanical sensor will provide the practical feasibility in the long time magnetic field measurement. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We designed the radial neutron spectrometer using a new type DT neutron spectrometer base on a recoil proton counter-telescope technique aiming ion temperature measurement for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The neutron spectrometer will be installed on the well collimated neutron beam line. A large area recoil proton emitter is placed parallel to the incident neutron beam and microchannel collimating plates are inserted between the radiator and the recoil proton detectors away from the neutron beam in order to limit the scattering angle of protons to the proton detectors. Here a very thin polyethylene film and a silicon surface barrier detector are employed as the radiator and proton detector, respectively. The energy resolution and detection efficiency are estimated to be 2.5% and 1×10−5 counts neutron−1 m2, respectively, for the DT neutron through Monte Carlo calculations. Five units of the spectrometers will be installed just outside the biological shield, will include a fan array using penetrations inside the bioshield and a precollimator in the horizontal port. The lifetime of the proton detectors is estimated to be about one year in the basic performance phase of ITER by neutron transport calculations using the Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport code (MCNP). © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Key objectives of the first ten years of ITER operation are the investigation of the physics of burning plasmas and the demonstration of long-pulse ignited plasma technologies. These include studies of plasma confinement and stability, divertor operation, disruption mitigation and control, noninductive current drive, and steady state operation under conditions when the plasma is heated predominantly by alpha particles. The ITER operational plan envisages two and a half years for commissioning and initial operation with hydrogen plasmas at up to 100 MW of auxiliary heating power when initial tests of divertor operation and evaluation of disruption effects will be made. In order to meet the operational and programmatic goals, it will be necessary to make a wide range of plasma measurements. In this article the preliminary operational plan and physics program are presented and the implications for plasma measurements are outlined. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We are designing microfission chambers, which are pencil size gas counters with fissile material inside, to be installed in the vacuum vessel as neutron flux monitors for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). We computed the neutron and gamma flux around the shielding blanket by a two-dimensional neutron calculation, in order to find suitable locations for microfission chambers. We found that the 238U microfission chambers are not suitable because the detection efficiency will increase up to 50% during the ITER lifetime by breeding 239U. We propose to install 235U microfission chambers on the front side of the back plate in the gap between adjacent blanket modules and behind the blankets at ten poloidal locations. One chamber will be installed in the divertor cassette, just under the dome. Employing both the pulse counting mode and Campbelling mode in the electronics, we can accomplish the ITER requirement of 107 dynamic range, with 1 ms temporal resolution, and eliminate the effect of gamma rays. An in-vessel neutron monitor will be affected by changes of the detection efficiency due to the change in the plasma position and neutron source profile. Here we demonstrate by neutron Monte Carlo calculation with three-dimensional modeling that we avoid those detection efficiency changes by installing microfission chambers at several poloidal locations inside the vacuum vessel. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The divertor impurity monitoring system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor has been designed. The main functions of this system are to identify impurity species and to measure the two-dimensional distributions of the particle influxes in the divertor plasmas. The wavelength range is 200–1000 nm. The viewing fans are realized by molybdenum mirrors located in the divertor cassette. With additional viewing fans seeing through the gap between the divertor cassettes, the region approximately from the divertor leg to the x point will be observed. The light from the divertor region passes through the quartz windows on the divertor port plug and the cryostat, and goes through the dog-leg optics in the biological shield. Three different type of spectrometers: (i) survey spectrometers for impurity species monitoring, (ii) filter spectrometers for the particle influx measurement with the spatial resolution of 10 mm and the time resolution of 1 ms, and (iii) high dispersion spectrometers for high resolution wavelength measurements are designed. These spectrometers are installed just behind the biological shield (for λ〈450 nm) to prevent the transmission loss in fiber and in the diagnostic room (for λ≥450 nm) from the point of view of accessibility and flexibility. The optics have been optimized by a ray trace analysis. As a result, 10–15 mm spatial resolution will be achieved in all regions of the divertor. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The magnetoresistance of a ferromagnetic Fe–Ni nanoring with 420 nm in inner diameter and 500 nm in outer diameter was measured at very low temperatures below 100 mK. When a magnetic field is applied to the ring, the magnetoresistance exhibits oscillations whose period varies according to the field direction. This demonstrates the Aharonov–Bohm effect of the conduction electrons in the ferromagnetic nanoring. The amplitude of the oscillations can be regarded from the viewpoint of competition between the system size and the phase coherence length of the conduction electrons. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effects of mechanicals stimulation of denture-bearing mueosa on the perception of mandibular position was tested in five patients wearing dentures. In order to produce mucosal stimulation of different intensities, five types of a punctate stimulus plate each having a different number of raised points was used. A hydraulic vertical displacement meter was also used so as to vary mandibular position. The mandibular position sense altered with changes in the physical stimulus intensity to the denturebearing mucosa within a limit of jaw separation (less than 2.3 mm). In addition, the increases of the stimulus intensities stabilized the response regarding the mandibular position discrimination. From these results, it has been suggested that the tactile information from the denture-bearing mucosa regulates the neural mechanism concerning the mandibulr position discrimination.

    Notes: The dynamic occlusal force patterns associated with the performance of rhythmic tapping movement were analysed in normal subjects, who were instructed to make tapping movements at four frequencies, 2, 2.5, 3.3 and 5 Hz, with as constant a magnitude of force as possible. The occlusal force recorded by an intra-oral customized device showed a triphasic pattern which could be divided into two components, and this pattern was more clearly defined during slower tapping movements. Of the two components, the first was relatively stable, regardless of changes in tapping frequency, while the second was highly dependent on the tapping cycle duration, and its duration was shortened with increases in tapping frequency. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the changes in the occlusal power phase and those in the burst duration of the masseter EMG simultaneously recorded by a pair of surface electrodes. On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that the tapping rhythm is modulated by the duration of the occlusal power phase and the associated jaw elevator muscle activity.
