Several diagnostics based on electromagnetic radiation are used to measure temperature and density in laser-produced plasmas. They can essentially grouped in two categories. A first involves the analysis of the emission spectrum from the plasma. The typical temperature of a laser-produced plasmas being in 10-10^3 eV range, most of the emission lies in the ultra-violet to the soft X-ray...

A new diagnostic tool has recently been developed, which allows to get 2D X-ray images of ICF relevant plasmas with simultaneous energy encoded information. This is achieved by using a pinhole camera scheme in which a CCD camera, forced to operate in the single-photon regime, is used as a detector. The use of this method, initially limited to a single-pin-hole, multi-shot basis, has recently...

In the future generation of fusion reactors, the power generated by the fusion reactions substantially exceeds the external input power (Pfusion/Pin ≥ 50). Twenty percent of the generated fusion power is carried by the charged alpha particles that carry a large fraction of the plasma kinetic energy and can collectively drive certain types of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) modes, while they can...

Magnetic confinement fusion, which is one of two major branches of fusion energy research, has experienced major progress during the last decades. However, performances of actual magnetic confinement machines, such as tokamaks, are limited by the development of micro-turbulence that generates most of the radial transport of heat and particles. The prediction and the control of energy...

The new frontier in the particle beam accelerator is the so called plasma acceleration. Using the strong electric field inside a plasma is possible to achieve accelerating gradients order of magnitude larger in respect to the actual technologies. Different schemes have been proposed and several already tested, producing beams of energy of several GeV. Mainly two approaches are followed: the...

Human spaceflight is a challenging endeavor, requiring a high degree of environmental control and life support for astronauts comfort and safety. The control of environmental conditions in a broad sense is of paramount importance, involving the monitoring of both natural and artificial environmental parameters. The International Space Station (ISS) is the main current human space...
