Fusion at Columbia: Fundamental Research and Industry Engagement

AUG Seminar
  • Datum: 19.05.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 12:20 - 13:15
  • Vortragender: Carlos Paz-Soldan
  • Carlos Paz-Soldan is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics at Columbia University in the City of New York. He received his B.Sc.E degree in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University at Kingston in 2007 and his Ph.D degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012. After his Ph.D he worked as a scientist at General Atomics in San Diego until he was appointed with tenure to Columbia University in 2021. Carlos Paz-Soldan’s research interests are motivated by the desire to solve the scientific and technological challenges standing in the way of harnessing controlled fusion energy on earth. In particular, he is interested the control of transient off-normal events that can prevent the reliable operation of magnetic fusion device concepts. Dr. Paz-Soldan is the recipient of the Marshall N. Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize in 2013 and the Thomas H. Stix Award for Outstanding Early Career Contributions to Plasma Physics Research in 2021, both from the American Physical Society.
  • Ort: IPP Garching
  • Raum: Seminarraum D3
Culminating in the recently announced launch of the Columbia Fusion Research Center, Fusion at Columbia has been expanding into new directions and with new partners. This presentation will discuss a mix of fundamental research carried out at Columbia, sponsored by the federal government, and research in support of the growing private fusion sector, sponsored directly by industry. Technical topics to be discussed will be in the area of disruptions and MHD, which is particularly important for tokamaks under construction, as well as reactor design more broadly and applied to negative triangularity tokamaks specifically, and if time allows touch on fusion technology and stellarators. The role of partnerships will be emphasized, whether in collaboration with industry, national laboratories, or international partners. Finally, an informal summary on recent changes in the US research ecosystem and associated impacts will be provided. [mehr]

Supernova remnants as factories of cosmic rays

Abstract: Cosmic rays (CRs) with energies below the 'knee' at about 3 PeV are believed to be of Galactic origin, but it is still not fully understood in which astrophysical objects they are produced. The classical paradigm states that Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the main sources of Galactic CRs mainly on the account of their energy budget that is sufficient to explain the energy density of low-energy CRs. But whether SNRs are responsible for all the Galactic CRs or not remains an open question as many pieces of the puzzle are still missing. To answer this question it is necessary to understand whether SNRs can accelerate particles beyond PeV energies and whether the total yield of CRs from SNRs is compatible with observations in terms of the spectral shaper and elemental composition. In this talk I will critically assess the capabilities of SNRs as CR accelerators by the means of multiwavelength observations and numerical simulations. [mehr]

Thermal and RF sheath boundary conditions for low frequency turbulence and blob-filaments

TOK Seminar
This tutorial-style presentation will begin with a brief review of basic sheath physics and thesheath boundary conditions for low frequency turbulence simulations. A few consequences ofsheaths for scrape-off layer (SOL) instabilities will then be discussed using analytical models toprovide insight. Using a scaling correspondence between linear instabilities and turbulentstructures, semi-quantitative sheath-related propagation regimes of blob-filaments will bediscussed and compared with experimental measurements. Turning to RF sheaths, afterreviewing the physics of RF rectification, thermal sheath boundary conditions are generalized todescribe the effect of RF-driven sheaths on low frequency turbulence. ICRF-driven sheathstypically have much higher sheath potentials than their thermal sheath counterparts. Recentwork using the Hermes turbulence code to model ICRF driven convection and changes in theSOL density profile will be summarized. In this work the importance of 3D geometry for themodeling is emphasized. Convective cells near an antenna are shown to influence the transportof impurity ions that originate from RF-induced sputtering. Finally, some comments,speculations and challenges for modeling grazing magnetic angle sheaths will be presented. [mehr]
