Review of Scientific Instruments publishes novel advancements in scientific instrumentation, apparatuses, techniques of experimental measurement, and related mathematical analysis. Its content includes publication of regular and in-depth review articles on instruments covering all areas of science including physics, chemistry, and biology.
To satisfy the need for low jitter in gas switches at repetition rate and enhance insulation reliability during high voltage operation of the trigger, we propose a micro-jet triggering system. This ...
Although often viewed as detrimental, fluctuations carry valuable information about the physical system from which they emerge. Femtosecond noise correlation spectroscopy (FemNoC) has recently been ...
We have designed an oven for optical reflection measurements at temperatures as high as 1000 K. The compact setup can be attached to any Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer using a microscope. ...
In low-energy collisions between two dipolar molecules, the long-range dipole–dipole interaction plays an important role in the scattering dynamics. Merged beam configurations offer the lowest ...
A novel Thomson-scattering diagnostic with continuous angular resolution over a span of 120° was developed for the characterization of plasmas produced at the Omega Laser Facility. Spectrally ...
Acoustic levitation is frequently used for non-contact manipulation of objects and to study the impact of microgravity on physical and biological processes. While the force field produced by sound ...
The next generation of fusion reactors, exemplified by projects such as the Demonstration Power Plant following the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, faces the monumental challenge of ...
Many modern accelerators rely on superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities to accelerate particles. When these cavities are cooled to the superconducting state, a fraction of the ambient ...
A system for studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of fluctuations in the boundary of the W7-X plasma using the “Gas-Puff Imaging” (GPI) technique has been designed, constructed, installed, and ...
