Bas Slotema - internship at IPP (Garching)
During my internship at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Garching, Germany, from November to February, I worked with the MHD and fast particles group, under the supervision of Matthias Hoelzl and Verena Mitterauer. My task involved using the MHD code JOREK to study the effects of screening of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) by nearby conducting structures and plasma in a tokamak. RMPs are crucial for controlling edge localized modes (ELMs), which can damage plasma-facing components in fusion reactors.
