Fusion product (neutron/alpha) sampling tools
A python toolkit for fusion scientists studying neutronics or fast particle physics in tokamaks.
-
Gatan Precision Ion Polishing System (PIPS II)
Used to sputter away material from a localised region of a sample with 2 coincident beams of low energy argon.
-
Grindosonic Mk7 Impulse Excitation Technique
Non-destructive measurements of sample resonant frequencies to allow for the determination of Youngs Modulus.
-
HARDS: Hierarchical Arbitrary Data Storage
A pure-Python library to manage hierarchical datasets on the filesystem.
-
