Computer simulations play a critical role in understanding physical and chemical systems. In the last decades verification, validation and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) of computer simulations has become an important research topic in the physical and chemical sciences and engineering. In support of optimization-based design of a fusion reactor and high precision diagnostics of plasmas in fusion devices the IAEA Atomic and Molecular (A+M) Data Unit has been pursuing VVUQ activities for theoretical A+M data. Our objective is to encourage and support the data development community to provide data users with reasonable uncertainty estimates for calculated A+M data and especially for calculated cross sections. After a series of meetings and discussions with theoretical atomic physicists organized by the Unit it has become clear that the VVUQ methods for theoretical data should develop in collaboration with experimental physicists and benchmark experiments.
The meeting is meant to advance data-oriented research on A+M processes and properties that are important for plasma simulations and plasma diagnostics for fusion energy development and other plasma applications. Leading theoretical and experimental A+M physicists are invited along with plasma physicists using A+M data to discuss uncertainty assessments and benchmark experiments for A+M data for fusion and other plasma applications. The discussion topics are as follows:
A preliminary programme of the meeting will be made available on the meeting web page. The final programme and the Book of Abstracts will be available upon registration at the meeting. A meeting report will be produced on the basis of the proceedings of the meeting. The report will summarize presentations, discussions and recommendations contributed by the meeting participants.
Invited speakers are identified with help from the Scientific Advisory Committee. Information for contributed presentations is provided here.
Anyone other than invited speakers wishing to present a contribution (poster or talk at the discretion of the organizing committee) should send an abstract direct to the organizers at IAEA and should send Forms A and B (and Form C if financial assistance is to be requested) to their competent official authority (most often an office within their national Atomic Energy Authority) for subsequent transmission to the IAEA.
Participants wishing to present a paper during this meeting must submit a one-page abstract as an email attachment before 24 August 2016. The abstract submission email must contain the author's name, affiliation and email address. Please use a filename in the format Lastname.Initials.ShortTitle.filetype. The abstract should be submitted by email to: H.Chung@iaea.org.
Please use page size A4 (21 cm by 29.7 cm), vertical orientation and margins of 25 mm on all sides. Please use Times New Roman (TNR) font throughout and then:
Authors will be informed by 1 September 2016 as to whether their abstract has been accepted by the Scientific Advisory Committee. At the same time, authors will be advised as to whether their paper has been accepted for oral presentation or for presentation as a poster.
No registration fee is charged to participants. As a general rule, the IAEA does not pay for travel and living expenses of participants. However, limited funds are available to help meet the cost of attendance of selected specialists, mainly from developing countries with low economic resources. If governments wish to apply for a grant on behalf of one of their specialists, they should address specific requests to this effect to the Scientific Secretary of the meeting. Governments should ensure that applications for grants:
The meeting will be held at IAEA Headquarters (conference room M2) in the Vienna International Centre (VIC), home of the United Nations in Vienna. The VIC has a stop on the U1 metro line; at that stop VIC visitors should exit the platform at the end away from the city centre.
The IAEA Meetings web page provides information about visiting Vienna. Note the link there to a hotel list including IAEA negotiated rates for meeting participants.
Designated participants who require a visa to enter Austria should submit the necessary application to the nearest diplomatic or consular representative of Austria as soon as possible. The official letter of invitation from the IAEA usually serves to assist with visa arrangements.
The Joint IAEA-NFRI Technical Meeting on Data Evaluation for Atomic, Molecular and Plasma Material Interaction Processes in Fusion was held in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, 4-7 September 2012.
The Joint IAEA-ITAMP Technical Meeting on Uncertainty Assessment for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Scattering Data was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, 7-9 July 2014.
The Atomic and Molecular Data Unit has organized many other Meetings on uncertainty assessment, data evaluation, and specific evaluations.
The present event has been advertised on several meetings lists and news lists (thank you!) and these lists may be a good source of information about other events of related interest.
The scientific secretary of the meeting is Hyun-Kyung Chung of the Atomic and Molecular Data Unit, Nuclear Data Section, Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences (NAPC), Department of Nuclear Science and Applications (NA). Email: H.Chung@iaea.org.
