Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Abstract:

After a brief introduction, addressing controlled thermonuclear fusion in magnetized plasmas and

recent experimental results in the Joint European Torus, the physics issues of reactor relevant

burning plasmas are put in the perspective of the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor

and the DEMOnstration power plant. Emphasis is given to the need of developing a reliable

predictive capability of nonlinear behaviors of burning plasmas, that is transport processes

and self-organization. State of the art general approaches are described, and

Alfvénic fluctuations and fusion alpha particle transport are taken as paradigmatic cases

to illustrate the current understanding of these physics issues and open problems.
