Summer University for Plasma Physics and Fusion Research
The course covers the main aspects of plasma physics with emphasis on nuclear fusion: basics of plasma physics – kinetic theory and magneto-hydrodynamic description of a plasma – concepts and experimental results of tokamak and stellarator configurations – external heating and diagnostics of a fusion device – plasma wall interaction and material research – safety and environmental aspects of fusion – ITER and the next steps towards a reactor. It includes a tour of the IPP-tokamak experiment, ASDEX Upgrade.
The lectures are for physics and engineering students at European universities who have passed their bachelor's courses or for master's students at European universities who have not decided on their PhD topic yet.
Those who are selected to participate are required to submit a non-refundable participation fee of €50.
