Summer School in Microwaves in Beams and Plasmas at York Plasma Institute, 11 – 15 July 2022
REGISTRATION DEADLINE 24 JUNE 2022
Simulation of OXB mode conversion using the PIC code EPOCH
Microwaves have applications in tokamak physics from diagnostics to heating and current drive. These applications are particularly relevant for reactor scenarios since microwave antennas are relatively robust to reactor conditions and the power sources or diagnostics can often be removed some distance from the vessel itself. However, training in microwave science for tokamak applications often occupies only the periphery of graduate plasma courses. This summer school aims to provide a broad coverage of current topics in microwaves in beams and plasmas for both graduate students and experienced professionals, in industry, academia and national labs.
