The bi-annual Carolus Magnus Summer School is devoted to the theoretical and experimental aspects of high temperature plasmas confined in toroidal magnetic fields. The school has a focus on the physics of energy production using controlled nuclear fusion. Here, special emphasis is laid on tokamaks, but stellarators are also discussed. The School covers a broad area of topics. The summer school is primarily intended for PhD students and undergraduates in their last year.
Programme topics of the summer school:
- Introduction to fusion research
- Basic theory of magnetic confinement
- Fusion machines
- Kinetic theory
- Equilibrium and instabilities
- Transport theory
- Anomalous transport
- Kinetic wave theory
- Plasma heating and current drive
- Edge plasma physics and plasma-wall interaction
- Diagnostics
- Plasma Facing Materials
- Present state of fusion and glance at the future
Registration Deadline: May 1, 2015
