Future Directions in Theory of 3D Magnetic Cofinement Systems

Agenda

(* indicates responsible person)

Monday morning 1/7

Input from experimental programs (D. Anderson*,dtanders@facstaff.wisc.edu)- Extensive discussion of the US Compact Stellarator program is anticipated, but the wider stellarator program, and 3D issues for tokamaks and other concepts will be included.

Monday Afternoon

MHD (Reiman*,reiman@pppl.gov, Hegna, hegna@cptc.wisc.edu)- 3D equilibrium, linear and nonlinear ideal MHD stability, calculation and theory of magnetic islands and tearing modes, including neoclassical effects, modes driven by energetic particles

Tuesday morning 1/8

Confinement (Boozer*,ahb17@columbia.edu, Mynick, hmynick@pppl.gov) - Neoclassical confinement, energetic particle confinement, microstability and turbulence, transport barrier theory, radial electric field effects

Tuesday afternoon

Modeling and diagnostics (Houlberg*,houlbergwa@ornl.gov, Callen, callen@engr.wisc.edu ) - Integrated discharge analysis, simulations , 3D equilibrium reconstruction, analysis of diagnostics in 3D

Wave propagation and RF applications (Batchelor*,batchelordb@ornl.gov, Weitzner) - Heating, current drive, flow drive, wave based diagnostics

Optimization (Ware*, aware@selway.umt.edu, Pomphrey, pomphrey@pppl.gov) - Plasma Configuration Design, Coil Design, Experimental Flexibility and Control, Reactor Design Optimization

Edge physics modeling (Hogan*, hoganjt@ornl.gov, Rognlien, trognlien@llnl.gov) -Equilibrium, power handling, particle control, impurity control, direct velocity space loss, barrier / pedestal physics for tokamaks and stellarators

Wednesday morning 1/9

Wrap-up session - Presentations by session leaders, discussion of collaborations or new initiatives to follow up, writing or writing assignments
