    Abstract In the present work, the impact that the longitudinal shape of channels has on the current produced in the flow of a magneto-hydrodynamic microgenerator (MHDMG) is studied. The goal is to find the micro-channel geometry via modeling to maximize the current output for low Reynolds and Mach regimes. To carry out this study, a 3D dynamic numerical tool relying on the finite volume method was handled with the open-source software OpenFOAM. It is the base model to study the impact of intricate geometries on the ability to produce energy. An additional steady-state 2D analytical model was also developed to check some basic modeling assumptions. Both models have been experimentally validated on the simplest flow system having a constant square cross-section throughout. The results produced by both models cross-check very well and compare favorably with respect to experimental data. Hence, using the validated numerical tool, three shapes have been further investigated, namely, progressive (linear decrease of the cross-section), arc (parabolic decrease of the cross-section), and wavy (sinusoidal shape). It was found that the arc channel provides the greatest current output for the same volumetric flow. It is therefore the preferred choice for developing high current gain and more efficient MHDMG used in micro-scaled actuators and sensors.

    Abstract The magnetic design of a ten-period (each period 14 mm) prototype superconducting undulator is reported using RADIA. The results of modelling the magnetic flux density are presented in an analytical formula. The dependence of the field integrals and phase error on the current density and undulator gap has been calculated, and temperature curves are determined for the models and are compared with earlier reported Moser-Rossmanith fits.

    Abstract The development of the high-temperature superconductors (HTS) conductors has allowed the development of diverse superconductor devices. Some of these devises, like the power generators and high-field magnets, are classified as large-scale HTS systems, because they are made of hundreds or thousands of turns. Mathematical models are required to address the analysis of these kind of systems. This task cannot be done by means of analytical models, because they are limited to the analysis of simple assemblies. The finite-element models using the H formulation have been extensively used during the last years. Nevertheless, the use of H formulation models to analyze large-scale systems is hindered by the excessive computational load. The recently proposed T-A formulation models have allowed building more efficient models for systems made of HTS tapes. Additionally, the homogenization and multi-scaling methods have been successfully applied in conjunction with the H and T-A formulations, these simplification methods allows reducing the required computational resources. In this article a new simplification method, called densification, is proposed. The strategies emerging from the combined use of the formulations and the simplification methods already mentioned are extensively explored, and the comprehensive validation and comparison of all the resulting strategies is presented.

    Abstract The emergence of second-generation high temperature superconducting tapes has favored the development of large-scale superconductor systems. The mathematical models capable of estimating electromagnetic quantities in superconductors have evolved from simple analytical models to complex numerical models. The available analytical models are limited to the analysis of single wires or infinite arrays that, in general, do not represent real devices in real applications. The numerical models based on finite element method using the H formulation of the Maxwells equations are useful for the analysis of medium-size systems, but their application in large-scale systems is problematic due to the excessive computational cost in terms of memory and computation time. Then it is necessary to devise new strategies to make the computation more efficient. The homogenization and the multi-scale methods have successfully simplified the description of the systems allowing the study of large-scale systems. Also, efficient calculations have been achieved using the T-A formulation. In the present work, we propose a series of adaptations to the multi-scale and homogenization methods so that they can be efficiently used in conjunction with the T-A formulation to compute the distribution of current density and hysteresis losses in the superconducting layer of superconducting tapes. The computation time and the amount of memory are substantially reduced up to a point that it is possible to achieve real-time simulations of HTS large-scale systems under slow ramping cycles of practical importance on personal computers.

    Abstract We present direct detection constraints on the absorption of hidden-photon dark matter with particle masses in the range 1.2-30  eV c^{-2} with the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB. Under the assumption that the local dark matter is entirely constituted of hidden photons, the sensitivity to the kinetic mixing parameter κ is competitive with constraints from solar emission, reaching a minimum value of 2.2×10^{-14} at 17  eV c^{-2}. These results are the most stringent direct detection constraints on hidden-photon dark matter in the galactic halo with masses 3-12  eV c^{-2} and the first demonstration of direct experimental sensitivity to ionization signals <12  eV from dark matter interactions.

    Abstract We introduce the fully-depleted charge-coupled device (CCD) as a particle detector. We demonstrate its low energy threshold operation, capable of detecting ionizing energy depositions in a single pixel down to 50 eVee. We present results of energy calibrations from 0.3 keVee to 60 keVee, showing that the CCD is a fully active detector with uniform energy response throughout the silicon target, good resolution (Fano ~0.16), and remarkable linear response to electron energy depositions. We show the capability of the CCD to localize the depth of particle interactions within the silicon target. We discuss the mode of operation and unique imaging capabilities of the CCD, and how they may be exploited to characterize and suppress backgrounds. We present the first results from the deployment of 250 um thick CCDs in SNOLAB, a prototype for the upcoming DAMIC100. DAMIC100 will have a target mass of 0.1 kg and should be able to directly test the CDMS-Si signal within a year of operation.
