A DECTRIS PILATUS3 100K detector is being used to sample the SXR emission from magnetically-confined fusion plasmas at different energies. The detector is equipped with a pixelated silicon sensor and it features single counting and CMOS readout ASICs. Lower energy thresholds at pixel level were calibrated via a custom procedure by exposing the detector to a series of fluorescence targets and...
Controlled nuclear fusion is considered the ultimate energy source for humanity. Magnetic-confinement tokamaks are representative facilities such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), etc. ITER is expected to start operation around 2035 and become the first magnetic-confinement fusion reactor to achieve...
