German Physical Society, DPG, organizes a physics School titled The physics of ITER. It is the aim of this School to present and discuss a wide spectrum of plasma physics issues, with interested physicists from all fields of physics. The goal is to provide better understanding of the key physics areas involved in magnetically confined fusion plasmas.
The list of speakers and subjects covers a wide range of expertise from the EU Fusion Programme and mainly (but not exclusively) targets young physicists in their early career. It is intended for physicists from all fields, but will also provide interesting talks and discussions for scientists active in the Fusion reasearch area.
The school features an extensive list of lecturers & topics:
- C. Angioni (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Germany): Energy transport and particle transport
- W. Biel (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany): Diagnostics and Control
- D. Campbell (ITER International Organisation, France): ITER goals and Project; ITER machine
- I. Chapman (CCFE Culham, United Kingdom): Fast particles - theory and experiment
- G. Giruzzi (CEA Cadarache, France): Modelling of scenarios
- C. Linsmeier (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany): Plasma Wall Interaction
- A. Loarte (ITER International Organisation, France): ITER physics issues; Exhaust scenarios
- O. Sauter (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland); NTMs; Sawteeth
- H. Wilson (University of York, United Kingdom): Pedestal Transport; ELMs
- M. Wischmeier (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Germany): Exhaust modelling
- H. Zohm (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Germany): Disruptions; Tokamak scenarios; From ITER to DEMO
The school will take place at the 'Physikzentrum Bad Honnef', Germany, in the week September 22-26. Thanks to the financial support by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, the attendance fee is only €200 including full board and accomodation! DPG members enjoy discounted rates.
