2877. I1.002 Progress and challenges in understanding core transport in tokamaks in support to ITER operations

Fusion performance in tokamaks depends on the core and edge regions as well as on their nonlinear feedbacks. The achievable degree of edge confinement under the constraints of power handling in presence of a metallic wall is still an open question. Therefore, any improvement in the core temperature and density peaking...

The newly developed Terrestrial Reconnection Experiment (TREX) [1] in the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory (WiPPL) [2] is optimized to study magnetic reconnection in a regime where Coulomb collisions between electrons and ions are sufficiently infrequent that kinetic effects in the electron dynamics are retained...

Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasmas are effective source of large densities of reactive radicals, metastables and ions and also high fluxes of photons with wavelengths down to the vacuum UV range. The resulting high reactivity of these APPs can be used in many surface treatment applications such as activation...

2896. I2.005 Hollow cathode plasma processes and applications

Hollow Cathodes are high-density plasma sources that are non-equilibrium from their principle. They are characterized by high activation and ionization degrees and can work in a broad range of parameters - pressures, powers and gas flows. They are scalable, versatile and cost effective. They enable both PVD (Physical...

2897. I2.006 Magnetized laser plasmas for laboratory astrophysics

Coupling high-power lasers and high-strength magnetic fields helps gaining unique insight and understanding of a variety of phenomena of crucial importance for astrophysics. We have shown that such platform could be used to mimic the expansion of a young star isotropic disk wind threaded by a co-axial poloidal magnetic...

2919. I3.007 AWAKE: physics of self-modulation of a relativistic proton bunch in a plasma and electron acceleration results

Relativistic proton bunches available today carry large amounts of energy (tens to hundreds of kilojoules) and can thus, in principle, drive wakefields in long plasmas, possibly leading to the acceleration of electrons to very high energies (TeVs). Since these bunches are long (6 to 12 cm), the self-modulation process...

2920. I3.008 Wendelstein 7-X: Towards high-density long-pulse operation

Stellarators have intrinsic advantages with respect to a fusion reactor operating in steady-state. They, however, need optimization to bridge the gap to tokamak plasma performance. The superconducting stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is optimized for neoclassical transport and improved plasma stability. The set of 50...

2930. I4.010 Plasma turbulence in the interstellar medium

BSAP

See the full abstract here http://ocs.ciemat.es/EPS2019ABS/pdf/I4.010.pdf

The interstellar medium is a multi-phase, magnetized, and highly turbulent medium. In this talk, I will address both theoretical and observational aspects of interstellar turbulence. In the first, theoretical part of the talk, I will discuss the sources of turbulence, the properties of the turbulent cascade, the...

2931. I4.011 Beyond a classical description of plasma physics. What does QED bring and change?

T. Grismayer (EPS 2019)

See the full abstract here http://ocs.ciemat.es/EPS2019ABS/pdf/I4.011.pdf

Plasma physics generally involves well-known physics of electromagnetism, special relativity and statistical mechanics. Various descriptions of the plasma state (kinetic, fluid, MHD) have been developed and each of them have a specific scope that depends on time/length scales, chemical composition, density, and...

2950. I5.012 Plasma techniques for nanostructured materials

Nanostructured materials are revolutionizing many fields of science and technology and are finding their way in many commercial products. Their interest is due to the fact that nanostructured films present functional (tribological, biological, electrical, optical) properties which are new, or of superior quality,...

2951. I5.013 The ITER Research Plan and supporting R&D in present experiments

The primary aim of the ITER Research Plan (IRP) is to define the plan of research and development and of the exploitation of the facility necessary to meet the ITER mission goals. The IRP is divided into two main phases after first plasma demonstration: operation in H/He plasmas (Pre-Fusion Plasma Operation (PFPO)) and...

2952. I5.014 The shock ignition approach to laser fusion: status and progress

Direct-drive "Shock Ignition" is an interesting alternative to the classical approach to ICF investigated on NIF and could relax the problems met on the pathway to ignition. In the conventional approach, hot electrons (HE) are dangerous because they induce target preheating making compression more difficult. In SI,...

2953. I5.015 Interplay between MHD and turbulence in plasma

Interplay between MHD and turbulence is interesting topics in magnetically confined plasma and solar plasma. The fast reconnection of magnetic field in the solar flare is well known but the mechanism is not well understood. Turbulence in the current sheet is a strong candidate to explain the fast reconnection in solar...
