16 – 20 September 2002 in Greifswald
The course will cover the main aspects of plasma physics with emphasis on nuclear
fusion. It also includes an introduction into strongly coupled low temperature
plasmas. The following lectures will be offered: basic plasma physics - kinetic
theory, MHD - equilibrium and stability in tokamaks - plasma heating - experimental
results in tokamaks and stellarators - plasma waves - plasma diagnostics - computer
simulation of plasmas - plasma wall interaction - safety and environmental aspects
of fusion - inertial fusion - experimental aspects and application of low temperature
plasmas including a visit to the "Institut für Niedertemperatur-Plasmaphysik
(INP)" in Greifswald.
The goal of the Summer University is to promote an exchange of views among the
coming generation of European scientists. An opportunity for discussions with
lectures and the other students will be provided in evening sessions, and during
excursions to the surroundings of Greifswald.
This year the Summer University is part of the International Max Planck Research
School on Bounded Plasmas.
The course is being held for European physics students have passed their basic
courses and have not yet started a doctoral (PhD) thesis. The lectures will be
presented in English, scripts will be provided to all students. The cost of accommodation
will be covered, and subsidies for food will be granted. Limited funds are available
for travel expenses. The course is limited to 60 participants
The deadline for applications is May 31, 2002. Applicants will be notified as
of mid July 2002.
