We are looking for a motivated and creative master student in either physics or engineering who wants to learn about experimental tokamak physics.
In particular, this project is about investigating how the electron density in the region between confined region and scrape-off layer (called separatrix) depends on the fuel isotope mass (hydrogen, deuterium or tritium). The work will consist in analyzing already existing data from the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak (in Garching, Germany) and the JET tokamak (U.K.). The student will have the chance to learn a lot about scrape-off layer and pedestal physics theory, to get experience with tokamak experimental data, to improve their python skills and to interact with many expert scientists in the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.
