Ion beam analysis of fusion plasma-facing materials and components : facilities and research challenges

摘要: Following the IAEA Technical Meeting on “Advanced Methodologies for Analysis of Materials in Energy Applications Using Ion Beam Accelerators”, this paper reviews current status ion beam analysis techniques and some aspects ion-induced radiation damage materials field relevant to fusion. Available facilities, apparatus development future research options challenges are presented discussed. The beryllium radioactivity-containing samples from experiments JET or ITER represents not only an analytical but also a technical challenge. A comprehensive list their status, capabilities comes alongside detailed descriptions labs. discussion issues sample handling facilities at complete section. To prepare international community these challenges, meeting concludes necessity determining new nuclear reaction cross-sections improving inter-laboratory comparability by defining standards testing via round-robin test.
