and Call for Papers
Twelfth Topical Conference on
Radio Frequency Power in Plasmas
April 1-3, 1997
Savannah, Georgia
Location and Sponsorship
The Twelfth International Conference on Radio Frequency Power in Plasmas will be held at the Savannah Marriott in Savannah, Georgia, on April 1-3, 1997, under the auspices of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The local organizing committee chairmen are Dr. Daniel J. Hoffman,
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Dr. Tom Intrator, University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The program committee also includes Drs. Stefano
Bernabei (PPPL), David Start (JET), Paul Vandenplas (ERM), Fritz
Wesner (IPP), Paul Bonoli (MIT), Haruyuki Kimura (JAERI), Ron Prater
(GA), Bernard Saoutic (CEA).
Topics
This conference will address applications of radio
frequency (rf) fields to plasma heating, current drive, and MHD
control in plasmas. Contributions are also encouraged in the areas of
basic rf wave physics, rf sources, rf materials processing,
ionospheric and astrophysical rf interactions, etc. Examples of
topics to be included are the launching, propogation, and absorption
of rf energy in various frequency ranges (Alfven to electron
cyclotron) as these topics relate to heating, confinement, plasma
production, plasma processing, plasma diagnostics, and current
generation. Papers on the technical aspects of rf heating are
welcome.
