The Topology Dependence Of Charged Particle Multiplicities In Three-Jet Events, R. Barate, M. Thulasidas Jan 1997

The Topology Dependence Of Charged Particle Multiplicities In Three-Jet Events, R. Barate, M. Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A study of individual jet and whole-event charged particle multiplicities in three-jet events measured in e + e − annihilation at the Z reveals a significant topology dependence. Mean jet multiplicities are inadequately described by jet energies; interjet angles must also be specified. Quantitative tests suggest that it is necessary to use transversemomentum- like scales to describe the data.

Turbulence Modeling Of The Toroidal Wall Heat Load Due To Shear Flows Over Cavities In The Neutral Gas Blanket Divertor Regime, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala, Joseph Morrison

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Heat loads to the target plate in reactor tokamaks are estimated to be orders of magnitude higher than those that can be withstood by known materials. In regimes of plasma detachment, there is strong evidence that plasma recombination occurs near the divertor plate, leading to a cold neutral gas blanket. Because of the strong coupling between the plasma and the neutrals within the divertor region, there is significant neutral flows along field lines up to Mach 1.2 and Reynolds numbers over 1000. The effects of three dimensional (3D) neutral turbulence within the gas blanket on heat deposition to the toroidal …
