Pulsotron-2 in dry dock again after December tests

[em]Málaga January 2014. During the December 2013 test campaign of Pulsotron new broadband sensors were tested with unexpected results[/em]
The new test campaign began with great expectation about new sensors which cover from low frequency to soft x – ray bands, so two new sensors were installed.
– The first was a custom built ultra broadband sensor that covers from 3 millimetre wavelength to soft x – rays.
– The second was the radiofrequency sensor that covers from Kilohertz to 2.5 Gigahertz

To support such a challenging campaign the team prepared 27 tests with the following results:
– 17 of them were successful
– 1 was successful but data was missing because of eletronic trigger failure
– 7 failed, one due to alignment error and the last one due to breakdown of Pulsotron

The radiofrequency sensor failed due to the fact that it began to oscillate so had to be switched off .

The broadband optical sensor worked perfectly but the Pulsotron team had to install an optical aperture in order to reduce signal power.
The sensor not only worked perfectly but also detected unexpected bursts of energy out of visible band. It happened in only 5 tests.

Also in the last shot a Pulsotron internal blast happened so the test campaign was stopped. Once again Pulsotron must be dismounted to be repaired.

More tests must be carried out in order to discover the source of the detected energy burst.
