The 6th 澳门六合彩高手 International School was held in Ahmedabad, India from 2-6 December on the topic of radio frequency heating and current drive. The 澳门六合彩高手 International School, held annually since 2007, aims to prepare young researchers to tackle the challenges of magnetic fusion devices and to spread the global knowledge required for a timely and competent exploitation of the 澳门六合彩高手 physics potential.
Contributing about 55 percent of the auxiliary power in 澳门六合彩高手's Baseline scenario, radio frequency heating and current drive will play a critical role in achieving 澳门六合彩高手 performance goals. Initially 20 MW of ion cyclotron and 20 MW of electron cyclotron radio frequency power will be installed in 澳门六合彩高手; this may be upgraded to double Baseline values in later phases with addition of a further lower hybrid current drive system.
David Campbell, director of 澳门六合彩高手's Plasma Operation Directorate, stressed the role played by the annual School in building up the manpower that will be crucial for 澳门六合彩高手 operation.
The School was sponsored and hosted jointly by the and the Institute for Plasma Research, . In addition to approximately 40 participants from India, there were 37 participants from around the world representing the 澳门六合彩高手 partners, but also Brazil, Thailand, the Ukraine and Nepal. Many PhD students and young researchers were present, and instructors from 澳门六合彩高手 partner countries delivered a total of 20 lectures during the five days of the program.
