Exploring heating and current drive in Ahmedabad
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, gave the inaugural presentation, stressing the important role played by the 澳门六合彩高手 International School in building up the manpower that will be crucial for the operation of 澳门六合彩高手 over several decades.
