Workshop Announcement (Poster)
Fusion energy research relies heavily on plasma modelling to predict the behaviour of the plasma and to interpret spectroscopic and other diagnostics of the plasma during operation. Plasma-wall interaction and the associated sputtering and desorption of wall material into the plasma are extremely important in determining the plasma composition, the erosion of surface material and changes in surface composition and material properties, and ultimately the feasibility of fusion power production. Modelling of plasma-wall interaction requires a combination of plasma and neutral gas transport codes and atomic, molecular, and plasma-material interaction data. Modelling of impurity behaviour in the core plasma and understanding core plasma diagnostics requires use of atomic cross section data and spectroscopic data.
The purpose of the Workshop is to train potential new researchers in fusion energy in the basics of plasma modelling with use of atomic, molecular and plasma-material interaction data. Lecturers will describe experimental and (mainly) computational methods by which such data are obtained, for example collisional-radiative modelling to obtain atomic data and molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations to obtain data on plasma-material interaction, and they will describe how these data are used in modelling and diagnostics of fusion plasma experiments.
