The course provides an overview of the fundamentals of magnetic confinement of plasmas for fusion. The different magnetic confinement configurations are presented, with a description of their operating regimes. The basic elements of particle and energy transport are introduced.Content
The course will consist of three parts:
- an overview of the different magnetic confinement configurations (tokamaks, stellarator, RFPs, ...) and of the operating regimes (L mode, H mode, ...), with an introduction to the plasma-wall interaction (5 lectures);
- introduction to particle and energy transport in magnetic confinement devices (classical, neoclassical, and turbulent transport) (6 lectures);
- basic principles of plasma heating and current drive, including heating due to fusion-generated alpha particles (3 lectures).
