This article presents a method for researching processes in automatic control systems based on the operator approach for modelling the control object and the controller. Within the method framework, a system of equations has been developed that describes the relations between the control error, the reference and control action, the output coordinate and the controller and the control object operators.

Impact of the drift length on the performance of MR-ToF devices
/ Maier, F M (CERN ; Greifswald U. ; TRIUMF ; Unlisted, US) ; Buchinger, F (McGill U.) ; Costa, B Arderucio (Troy U.) ; Heylen, H (CERN) ; Kanitz, C (CERN) ; Kwiatkowski, A A (TRIUMF) ; Lagaki, V (CERN ; Greifswald U.) ; Lechner, S (CERN) ; Leistenschneider, E (CERN ; LBNL, Berkeley) ; Neyens, G (CERN ; Leuven U.) et al.
Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight (MR-ToF) devices are powerful tools for high-precision mass spectrometry, highly selective and high-flux mass separation as well as, most recently, for highly sensitive laser spectroscopic applications. In this work, various ion-optical simulations are conducted to provide insights into optimizing the design of the MR-ToF apparatus to enhance performance across its diverse application fields. [...]

Lessons learnt from manufacturing—Forging of tokamak components
/ Sgobba, Stefano (CERN) ; Santillana, Ignacio Aviles (CERN) ; Ruiz-Palenzuela, Berta (CERN ; Carlos III U., Madrid) ; Castro, Enrique Rodriguez (CERN ; Carlos III U., Madrid) ; Knaster, Juan (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Schild, Thierry (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Han, Shiqiang (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Rossano, Graham (Oak Ridge, U.S. ITER) ; Libeyre, Paul (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance) ; Beemsterboer, Cornelis (Euratom, St. Paul Lez Durance)
Large structural forgings play a crucial role in the construction of fusion reactors and their superconducting magnet structures. The material challenges of such forged components are addressed, requiring a wide application of tightly specified stainless steel and Nickel-base superalloy products and grades, featuring a controlled microstructure and adequate mechanical, physical, magnetic and vacuum properties over a wide temperature range.

A Sensor Employing an Array of Silicon Photomultipliers for Detection of keV Ions in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
/ Mariscal-Castilla, Antonio (Barcelona U.) ; Piller, Markus (CERN) ; Alozy, Jerome (CERN) ; Ballabriga, Rafael (CERN) ; Campbell, Michael (CERN) ; de la Torre, Oscar (Barcelona U.) ; Gascón, David (Barcelona U.) ; Gómez, Sergio (Barcelona, Polytechnic U.) ; Heathcote, David (Oxford U.) ; Mauricio, Joan (Barcelona U.) et al.
Pixellated scintillation detectors have the potential to overcome several limitations of conventional microchannel-plate-based detectors employed in time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS), such as extending detector lifetime, reducing vacuum requirements, or increasing the ion throughput. We have developed a prototype comprising a fast organic scintillator (Exalite 404) coupled to an array of 16 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), with read-out electronics based on the FastIC application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

A multi-domain physics-informed neural network for transient thermal analysis of a Tokamak divertor
/ Rahman, Habib Ur (PIEAS, Islamabad) ; Hussain, Abid (PIEAS, Islamabad ; CERN) ; Ilyas, Muhammad (PIEAS, Islamabad) ; Ahmed, Manzoor (PIEAS, Islamabad) ; Rehman, Haseeb ur (PIEAS, Islamabad)
In this study, a Multi-Domain Physics-Informed Neural Network (MD-PINN) framework is implemented to model a multi-layer transient heat conduction problem with complex boundary conditions in an upgraded mockup of the Pakistan Spherical Tokamak divertor configuration. Automatic differentiation is employed to compute the spatial and temporal derivatives of the temperature field, which are essential for enforcing the residuals of the governing equations, initial conditions, boundary conditions, and interface conditions in the loss function.

Metascintillator pulse feature and shape analysis to detect photoelectric interactions and energy sharing
/ Konstantinou, G (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Latella, R (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Molliner, L (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Zhang, L (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Benlloch, J M ; Gonzalez, A J ; Lecoq, P (Valencia U., IFIC ; CERN)
Metascintillators are scintillator topologies whose principle is based on sharing the energy of an impinging gamma ray between their composing materials. These can be a dense crystal such as LYSO or BGO to retain a high gamma absorption probability, and a fast-emitting compound such as BC-422, EJ232 or BaF2 contributing to its light production kinetics.
