The first experiment aimed at studying of new multibody decay modes in fission of actinides at low excitations was performed at the FOBOS setup at the Flerov Laboratory (FLNR). The effect of CCT was confirmed recently

This paper describes the technical and pedagogical aspects of conducting laboratory experiments from remote locations. 13 systems of laboratory equipment are available at UTC for students to operate remotely via the Internet. Collected data can be shared with other students via the Web. The laboratory systems are described. The advantages and disadvantages in support of the learning objectives are discussed.

The experiment is performed in the upgraded LArge Plasma Device (LAPD) [1]. The LAPD is a linear device, which produces a highly magnetized quiescent plasma, capable of supporting Alfvén waves. A schematic of the machine is shown in the figure below. The plasma is formed by a pulsed discharge (Id ≃ 3.5 kA) between cathode and anode. The electron beam thus formed collisionally ionizes the fill gas (Helium). The discharge typically lasts for 8- 10 ms, and is pulsed at 1 Hz. The plasma is highly reproducible. It is 18 m long, and has a diameter of 50 cm, which is more than 100 ion larmor radii across at a background field of 1000 G. Figure 1: Schematic of the experiment In the experiment [2, 3], a high power pulse of microwaves is launched through a side window in the machine. The microwave source is a magnetron with fixed frequency at 9 GHz, and pulse length.5 µs or 2.5 µs (not continu-ously variable). The output power of the

Atmospheric absorption spectra using the sun as the source of radiation were recorded by ground-based FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) technique at Kiruna (Sweden, 68°N, 20°E). The spectrometer (Bruker 120HR) is in permanent operation at the IRF since March 1996, and is approved as complementary NDSC (Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change) site instrument since 1998. Mixing ratio profiles of O3, HCl, HNO3, HF, NO, N2O, and CH4 have been retrieved from these spectra and results for several days during winter 1997/98 are presented here.

Abstract-An experimental setup was developed for statically measuring seven vertical and three horizontal reaction forces on the foot. In the setup, the leg can be simultaneously oaded (1) by a vertical force, (2) by an externally applied axial moment, and (3) by simulated muscle forces. The foot

The experimental setup is the same than the one described in Divoux et al. [2009]. For sake of clarity, we report it in Figure 1 (Auxiliary Material). The experimental cell has an inner diameter of 74 mm, and a total height of 270 mm. Air is injected at constant flow-rate Q at the bottom of a non
