The BSC Fusion group has attended this week, from 4 to 8 July 2016, the 43rd European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics in Leuven, Belgium. It is the largest annual conference in the field of plasma physics and controlled fusion in Europe.
We presented our recent research in a total of three contributions as lead authors:
- Non-linear MHD Simulations of Pellet Triggered ELMs in JET and ASDEX Upgrade tokamaks by S. Futatani et al.
- Simulations of combined ICRF and NBI heating for high fusion performance in JET by D. Gallart et al.
- Third harmonic ICRF heating of deuterium beam ions on ASDEX Upgrade by M.J. Mantsinen et al.
Furthermore, we are coauthors of the invited paper by J. Garcia et al., entitled “Challenges in the extrapolation from DD to DT plasmas: experimental analysis and theory based predictions”, which has been submitted for publication in a Special issue in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion.
Our Fusion group leader Mervi Mantsinen also chaired one of the sessions of the meeting, which further boosted our visibility at the Conference.
