Bayesian inference of plasma parameters from collective Thomson scattering technique on a gas-puff near stagnation.

The Collective Thomson scattering technique has been implemented to study the stagnation of a single liner gas-puff. The plasma parameters are determined by theoretically modelling the scattering form factor in combination with Bayesian inference to provide the set of the most probable parameters that describe the experimental data. Analysis of the data reveal that incoming flows are able to interpenetrate partially.

Current measurement by Faraday effect on GEPOPU.

The design of an optical current sensor to be used in a pulsed power generator is presented. The current sensor is based on the polarization rotation by the Faraday effect. GEPOPU is a pulsed power generator, 110 kA, 120 ns double transit time, 1.

Fast plasma discharge capillary design as a high power throughput soft x-ray emission source.

We present the experimental details and results from a low energy but high repetition rate compact plasma capillary source for extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray research and applications. Two lengths of capillary are mounted in two versions of a closely related design. The discharge operates in 1.

Simple holographic polarogram.

A new technique capable of obtaining quantitative values of the rotation angle of the polarization vector by using holography is presented. This is a two-stage holographic process; during the recording stage a hologram of the object of interest is obtained. The reference beam is composed of two beams that form a small angle between them and keep their polarization states at right angles to each other.

The effect of gender on the melatonin suppression by light: a dose response relationship.

It is well known that light is an inhibitor of pineal melatonin secretion in humans. However, the effect of gender on the melatonin suppression by dim and bright light is still controversial. The present study investigated the effect of gender on the suppression of melatonin at five light intensities (0, 200, 500, 1,000, 3,000 lux).
