Abstract
In Padova (Italy), at Consorzio RFX (partners: CNR, ENEA, INFN, Università di Padova; Acciaierie Venete S.p.A.), fusion research is progressing in science and technology through the exploitation of two plants: the ITER-Neutral Beam Test Facility and the RFX-mod experiment. Join our technical tour to the facilities, step inside our labs and find out. After a short introduction on the activities developed at Consorzio RFX; you'll get a panoramic view of the NBTF facility, you'll enter in SPIDER, the most powerful ion source in the world, in operation from 2018, and you'll be brought in the RFX facility where important modifications are under way. Discover the physics under investigation: from RFX-mod to RFX-mod2 through a new magnetic front-end, and the technology innovations: the design of a new RF generator made by solid-state amplifiers for the ITER injectors, and the development of a Non- Evaporable Getter pump for the SPIDER ion source.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
