Division Spotlight
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating by injection of two microwave beams with different k// has been investigated in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. In experiments, measurements of an effective temperature of an end loss electron flux and an end plate potential indicate that, for the same total incident power, heating efficiency of two beam heating is a little worse than that for one beam heating. Numerical analysis of electron energy gain by two beam ECRH gives the result of a little worse heating efficiency agreeing with that of the measurements, and the result is able to be explained as spatially sequential heating due to Doppler-shifted resonance gap for two beam heating.
