Introduction
IPP Projects
The research conducted at Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmapysik
(IPP) is concerned with investigating the physical basis of a fusion power plant.
For this purpose at Garching IPP is conducting ASDEX Upgrade, a large-scale experiment of the tokamak type. At the Greifswald Branch Institute of IPP the large stellarator Wendelstein 7-X is being built – as sucessor to Wendelstein 7-AS which had been operating in Garching till July 2002.
The nine scientific divisions of IPP investigate confinement of high-temperature hydrogen plasmas in magnetic fields, develop plasma heating facilities and measuring methods for analysing plasma properties, deal with plasma theory, magnetic field technology, materials research and plasma-wall interaction, and conduct systems studies for fusion.
