From March 2014 to September 2016, the instruments in the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) onboard the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft measured the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) in detail. Multiple datasets of these instruments show instances of asymmetric and …

Deze afstudeerscriptie onderzoekt de grondverplaatsingen die optreden tijdens de installatie van grondverdringende palen. Dergelijke verplaatsingen kunnen invloed hebben op de omgeving. In dit onderzoek is nagegaan hoe deze effecten vooraf kunnen worden voorspeld. Als vooronderzoek is een literatuurstudie …

Over the last four months I have been working at Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine Europe B.V. (MTEE) in Almere, Netherlands. As part of my Bachelor’s thesis assignment, I was given the task to investigate the working principle of Helmholtz resonators and evaluate the factors influencing the sound …

The goal of this thesis is achieving saturation intensity of 76.5 mW/cm2for 2S1/2F=1 - 2P1/2F = 2 transition in singly-ionized beryllium ions (Be+). By enlarging the optical power of a laser diode at 626.266 nm via a bow-tie cavity and converting to 313.133 nm using Second Harmonic Generation in a nonlinear …

Groeblacher Labs, at the TU Delft tries to achieve entanglement using optomechanical resonators like nanobeams. This is done by using the side peaks generated by the optomechanical resonators. These peaks are separated by 5 GHz in relation to the resonance peak of the optomechanical resonator. Because …

This project helps to reach the end goal of doing long distance measurements. Long distance measurements depends on the refractive index of air. The refractive index depends on temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture. The biggest uncertainty of calculating the refractive index is the temperature, …

Nuclear fusion is seen as one of the future technologies for roducing electrical power. In a hot and con ned plasma deuterium and tritium will melt together and form a helium nucleus and a neutron. This process produces a total of 17.6 MeV energy. In the plasma instabilities occur. Suppression of these …

A high resolution infrared spectrum of species formed in a nitrogen-hydrogen plasma expansion was recorded. A cavity ring down detection scheme was used to record a rotationally resolved spectrum in the region from 3300 cm-1 to 3380 cm-1. Using the relative intensities and line positions it was determined …
