This report is a follow-up study on M. Skeate’s study on System Drift Detection for Health Monitoring (Skeate, 2023). The following report highlights analyses of the panel’s behavior with extended use. This includes effects of burn-in on the panel from over-use and bad pixels (defined in Methodology.) Using data-forward statistical analyses across a sequence of scans, and given that the other conditions present in the data can be replicated, this study show that overtime use of panels does not affect bad pixel count. Also, I present conclusive evidence of a direct relationship between the regions of the panel that are exposed to radiation and burn-in damage to that region overtime. Additionally, this study also highlights the effect of the duty cycle on the dark current change in the panel.

A novel modelling methodology has been developed for the creation of a realistic plasma gamma-ray source for Monte Carlo transport simulations in the tokamak JET. The methodology couples the TRANSP code for plasma transport calculations with the MCNP Monte Carlo particle transport code, thus connecting plasma physics with gamma-ray transport. Here, we present the validation of the developed source methodology by comparing calculated gamma-ray spectra with measurements performed at JET. The validation focuses on gamma-ray spectra measured by the tangential gamma-ray spectrometer during two JET three ion RF scenario discharges, performed in the JET 2019 deuterium experimental campaign. For validation the calculated plasma gamma-ray spectrum was combined with the neutron induced prompt gamma-ray background, originating in the vacuum vessel, and scaled to absolute values calculating the total number of plasma gamma-ray and neutron emitting reactions. The comparison between calculated and measured gamma-ray spectra shows good agreement with the shape of the calculated gamma-ray spectra matching that of measurements for both studied discharges. Moreover, the calculated absolute values of the gamma-ray spectra were of the same order of magnitude at the position of the gamma-ray detector located at the end of a long line-of-sight in a biological shield. Finally, the comparison has validated the developed plasma gamma-ray source methodology for MCNP photon transport calculations at JET. The validation provides a basis for the developed plasma gamma-ray source to be used as a support for the development of future tokamaks such as DEMO.
