2016 Joint ICTP-CAS-IAEA School and Workshop on Plasma-Material Interaction in Fusion Devices

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will jointly organize this school and workshop to be held in Hefei, China, hosted by the CAS Institutes of Plasma Physics (ASIPP) and of Solid State Physics (ISSP), from 18 to 22 July 2016. The event will be devoted to computational methods and their application for the study of plasma-material interaction processes in fusion devices and of related material properties. The schedule will feature lectures by international experts, exposure to some important codes, invited and contributed research talks, posters and discussion sessions, with good time available for personal interaction. The event will be conducted in English and we expect participants from around the world.

Topics

The school and workshop is devoted to computational methods and their application for the study of plasma-material interaction processes in fusion devices and of related material properties. Processes, methods and classes of simulations and data within the scope of the event include:

  • Electronic structure methods and tools for study of material microstructure and trapping and transport of H and He in fusion wall materials.
  • Development of classical interaction potentials for molecular dynamics (MD) studies.
  • Development of rate coefficients for Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) and other long-time evolution calculations.
  • Simulation methods for interpretation of experimental data, for example data obtained by thermal desorption spectroscopy.
  • Specific computational studies of erosion of plasma-facing materials due to plasma exposure, of radiation damage in plasma-facing materials and of trapping and migration of hydrogen and helium in such materials.

Deadline for Applications: 28 March 2016
