A research project of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) Negative ion-based Neutral Beam Injection (NNBI) prototype has been started in China. The objectives of the CFETR NNBI prototype are to produce a negative hydrogen ion beam of >20 A up to 400 keV for 3600 s and to attain a neutralization efficiency of >50%. In order to identify and optimize the design of the negative ion accelerator, a self-consistent model has been developed to consider all key physics and engineering issues (electric and magnetic fields, background gas flow, beam optics, beam-gas interaction, secondary particle trajectories, power deposition on grids, heat removal design, and mounting pattern). This paper presents the primary results by applying the self-consistent model to the current design of the 400 keV H accelerator of the CFETR NNBI prototype.

Article Synopsis
- CRAFT is a fusion technology facility in China focused on developing and validating fusion technology through methods like neutral beam injection.
- A new negative ion based neutral beam injector is being created with a beam energy of 400 keV, utilizing a core snubber for surge suppression in its power supply system.
- The design of the core snubber involves careful consideration of transmission line characteristics, and initial testing shows it effectively suppresses peak ignition current and oscillation.

Recent experimental studies have questioned the validity of spin statistics assumptions, particularly in charge exchange processes occurring in atomic MeV collisions. Here, we study spin-resolved single electron capture processes in collisions between C^{3+} ions and helium within an energy range of 1.25-400 keV/u.

Purpose: For the first time, three currently available 360° CZT-SPECT/CT cameras were compared under clinical conditions using phantom-based measurements.
Methods: A Tc- and a Lu-customized NEMA IEC body phantom were imaged with three different cameras, StarGuide (GE Healthcare), VERITON-CT versions 200 (V200) and 400 (V400) (Spectrum Dynamics Medical) under the same clinical conditions. Energy resolution and volumetric sensitivity were evaluated from energy spectra.
