Abstract

Applying the separated spin evolution quantum hydrodynamics to two-dimensional electron gas in plane samples and nanotubes located in external magnetic fields we find new kind of wave in electron gas, which is called the spin-electron acoustic wave. Separate spin-up electrons and spin-down electrons evolution reveals in replacement of the Langmuir wave by the couple of hybrid waves. One of two hybrid waves is the modified Langmuir wave. Another hybrid wave is the spin-electron acoustic wave. We study dispersion of these waves in two dimensional structures of electrons. We also consider dependence of dispersion properties on spin polarisation of electrons in external magnetic field.

Scalable Terbium-149 Production from Highly Enriched Gadolinium-150 Targets

We propose a two-stage production method to overcome existing supply-constraints for the alpha-emitter $^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb, a promising candidate for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) with no existing globally scalable production pathway. Although awaiting experimental measurement of the $^{150}$Gd(p,2n)$^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb cross section, the proposed method could produce $^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb at clinical scale and beyond on readily available proton cyclotrons, enabled by production of the extinct but long-lived isotope $^{150}$Gd, a pure alpha emitter with a 1.79 million year half-life. Stage one generates $^{150}$Gd feedstock by irradiating natural Eu or enriched $^{151}$Eu with $\gtrsim$10 MeV protons, neutrons or photons. Stage two produces $^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb from fabricated $^{150}$Gd targets by driving the $^{150}$Gd(p,2n)$^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb reaction with $\gtrsim$14 MeV protons, accessible on over 700 reported cyclotrons worldwide. Fast fusion neutrons appear to offer the most scalable pathway for $^{150}$Gd production: even with a large $^{149 \mathrm{g}}$Tb dose size of 1 GBq and 40 million administered doses/yr, we estimate this would require neutrons produced by only 6.8 megawatts of steady-state deuterium-tritium power to produce the required $^{150}$Gd, far below expected capacity in the next decade. The route described here, if validated, would enable $^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb supply at the scale needed to support clinical development of $^{149\mathrm{g}}$Tb-based TAT.

Dynamics of an impulse dielectric barrier discharge in pure ammonia gas using electrical characteristics and imaging analysis

A glow nanosecond discharge from a plane-to-plane impulse dielectric barrier discharge (iDBD) with ammonia gas has been characterised by employing fast imaging and electrical diagnostics. More precisely, the aim of this study is to investigate the dynamics of the discharge establishment under various conditions of applied voltage, pressure, and gas gap. The comparison between the current measurements and the image analysis exposes a strong correlation between the fast excitation and ionization wave velocity and the rising current velocity. This correlation has been found only for diffuse mode discharge since a front wave could be clearly defined, denoted as the luminous propagation front (LPF). Furthermore, this correlation is supported by a proportionality factor of 1.5 10$^{-3}$ which is systematic over the studied conditions. Further investigations are considered to evaluate the relevance of such a value over more parameters.

Runaway electron interactions with whistler waves in tokamak plasmas: energy-dependent transport scaling

Resonant interactions between high energy runaway electrons (REs) and whistler waves are a promising mechanism for RE mitigation in tokamak plasmas. While prior studies have largely relied on quasi-linear diffusion models in simplified geometries, we present a first-principles-informed framework that models RE-whistler interactions in a 3D tokamak equilibrium. This is achieved by coupling AORSA, which computes whistler eigenmodes for a given tokamak plasma equilibrium, and KORC, a kinetic orbit code that tracks full orbit RE trajectories in prescribed wave fields. Our results demonstrate that REs undergo scattering to large pitch angles and exhibit anomalous diffusion in both pitch-angle and kinetic energy space. Crucially, we observe a transition between diffusive, sub-diffusive, and super-diffusive transport regimes as a function of initial RE energy - an effect not captured by existing quasi-linear models. This anomalous transport behavior represents a significant advancement in understanding RE dynamics in the presence of wave - particle interactions. By identifying the conditions under which anomalous diffusion arises, this work lays the theoretical foundation for designing targeted, wave-based mitigation strategies in future tokamak experiments.
