Members of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Fuelling Section took a four-day trip to the Southwest Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, China, where they had intensive discussions on the ongoing design task for the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ gas injection system and the glow discharge cleaning system: Tao Jiang (SWIP), Mingxu Wang (SWIP), Bo Li (SWIP), Xiangqin Zhang (ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ China), Bob Brewster (ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ), Min Wang (ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ China), So Maruyama (ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ) and Yu Yang (ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ). SWIP will soon install the test bed for transient measurement of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ gas injection and an electrode prototype for the discharge cleaning. This facility will provide valuable information to verify the design of both systems.
