Overview

In laboratories around the world, Keysight Technologies instrumentation has become an integral part of advanced experimental systems, whether for system control or experiment observation. Applications include astrophysics, nuclear physics, particle physics, plasma physics, and other high-energy physics advanced research applications. Keysight high-speed instruments are used in two major areas, real-time control and measurement, and Single-shot, or event-based measurements. Expanding knowledge on phenomena at galactic or nanometer scale, conidence in results is strengthened by dependable measurement solutions that provide exceptional speed and measurement idelity. Keysight provides the extreme speed and precision needed for system monitoring and control, and for capturing data from the events at speeds that exceed the interactions of the experiments themselves. A large amount of scientiic material has been developed by users of our high-speed digitizers that are in the public domain. The following links will provide you with a wide range of data on where and how Keysight High-Speed digitizers are used in the expansion of scientiic knowledge.

A general overview can be found at http://cp.literature.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5990-5420EN.pdf This looks at single-shot and real-time experiments in, amongst other applications, particle acceleration, and radio astronomy.

Particle accelerators may be circular or linear, and can measure from 1m to 10’s of km in length. They are used as experimental sites for nuclear physics interactions, particle colliders and light sources (X-ray). Keysight digitizers are used in beam control

helping optimize the position of the beam through the steering and acceleration stages and in the experiments that observe the particle and light interactions.

Plasma fusion reactors will use Tokamak’s as a key technology for future power generation systems. Tokamak fusion experiments look to stabilize plasma so that fusion reactions can occur (similar to those on the Sun) and Fusion reactors can be built. These Fusion reactors promise to provide “Clean” nuclear energy, and many projects are occurring today. Often linked to the ITER project (http://www.iter.org/) that links Europe, China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the US in a global investment for Fusion research.

Inertial confinement is a technique used for fusion research to stabilize a plasma and in-so-doing generate cleaner nuclear energy with the same processes that power our own sun. Major research centers include Megajoule in France (LMJ), NIF at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and the Z-Machine at Sandia National Lab in the US.

Astronomy and astrophysics labs use high-speed digitizers for the capture of data. Experiments include observation of fast gamma radiation through secondary (Cherenkov) light, that requires multichannel coincidence measurements, or RF/uw recording as a function of time.

Environmental research investigates the ground, air, and water around us to help us understand our own, and even extra-terrestrial environment. Remote sensing techniques are often used, that use Keysight high-speed digitizers to allow probing, measurement and chemical analysis of the material around us.
