Scope

The 11^th International Workshop on Plasma Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications will be held at Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany. This workshop series, formerly named "International Workshop on Carbon Materials for Fusion Applications", was initiated in 1985 by Forschungszentrum Jülich as a forum for information exchange on carbon based materials for plasma facing applications in nuclear fusion devices. To date, 10 workshops were organised; 8 of them took place in Jülich, one in Stockholm (1995 organised by KTH and FZJ), and one in Hohenkammer (2000 organised by IPP, Garching and FZJ). To reflect the requirements of the ITER design and the ongoing evolution in the field it was decided to change the name of the workshop from "International Workshop on Carbon Materials for Fusion Applications" to "International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications".  

Topics

Topics of the 11^th meeting are recent developments and research results in the subjects:

• carbon based materials
• beryllium
• tungsten and tungsten layers
• mixed materials
• erosion and redeposition
• high heat flux component development

Scientific Programme

• Introductory Lectures, Monday, October 9, from 13:00 to 18:00
• Welcome reception, Monday, October 9, 18:00 to 20:00
• Presentations, from Tuesday, October 10, 09:00 to October 12, 13:00
• Detailed Timetable of the presentations

The program will be divided into the following sessions:

1. Materials for the ITER-divertor (erosion, redeposition, H retention)
1. Carbon-based materials (incl. C removal)
2. Tungsten
3. Beryllium
4. Mixed Materials (intentional and non-intentional)
2. The ITER-like Wall Project
3. High heat flux component development
4. Transient heat loads (Elms, Disruptions,...)

Introductory Lectures

A tutorial course is planned for Monday, Oct. 9, from 13:00 to 18:00. The programme can be found here: Tutorial programme

Additional ressources will be available on the Tutorial Ressource page

These introductory lectures are dedicated to PhD students, PostDocs and Newcomers in the field (free of charge).
Registration for the tutorial course is required by July 1,2006. The number of participants is limited to 30 persons. Registrations will be considered in the order of receipt.
If you are interested, please contact the workshop secretary.

This tutorial is co-organized together with the Extremat consortium as a Training Activity within the framework of the Integrated European Project "ExtreMat" (contract NMP-CT-2004-500253) with financial support by the European Community.

Conference Site

Greifswald

Recommended tourist attractions are

• Market Square with the Brick Gothic Gabled Houses, the Town Hall, the Council Chemist's
• Churches like St. Mary's, St. Nicholas, St. James
• Courtyard of St. Spiritus
• Baroque style main building of the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University
• Arboreturm and Botanic garden
• Neo-Gothic Rubenow Monument;
• Classicistic Quistorp building of the Pomeranian State Museum

The Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Greifswald is concerned with investigating the physical principles underlying a nuclear fusion power plant, which - like the sun - will gain energy from the fusion of light atomic nuclei. For this purpose the conditions which will allow fusion reactions in a plasma (a hot ionized gas) will be investigated in the presently built large-scale experiment WENDELSTEIN 7-X.

The conference banquet will take place on Wednesday evening in Greifswald.
