Description:
Brief Description
The main objective of this college is advanced pedagogical training for participants from the developing countries. Student and researcher participation from “north countries” is also encouraged. The college program is designed to: 1) stimulate the participants to develop an advanced understanding and perspective of elementary and basic ideas on plasma physics, and 2) train students and researchers in recent developments and advances in experiments, design, theory, modeling, and numerical computation so that their research and dissemination abilities are honed.
Topics
• Elementary as well as advanced treatment of fundamental processes in plasma physics, collective phenomena, coherent nonlinear phenomena, self-organization, plasma turbulence.
• Their applications to Magnetic Fusion (theory, experiments, design, and simulations), laser generated plasmas, astrophysical and cosmic plasmas (solar, planetary magnetospheres, jets etc.), and exotic plasmas (relativistic, quantum, quantum-relativistic). Fusion applications will be emphasized.
Poster session
A poster session to highlight participant research will be organized.
Participation
Scientists from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend the College. As the activity will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this language. There is no registration fee. Travel and subsistence expenses of participants should be borne by their home institutions. Limited funds are available for some participants who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, to be selected by the Organizers. However, every effort should be made by candidates to secure at least partial support for their travel expenses.
