( UKAEA/Euratom Fusion
Association )
An
International Summer School intended
for students near the
start
of postgraduate
courses. No previous knowledge of
plasma physics is
assumed.
In 1996, the
Summer School attracted over
70 students:
20 from the
UK, and more than 50
from other countries
including
Australia, Israel,
Turkey, USA, and throughout Western Europe.
Culham is
the joint Euratom/UK centre for plasma physics and nuclear
fusion research; it is located close to
the city of Oxford, and
shares
a site with the world's largest magnetic fusion
experiment,
the Joint
European Torus (JET).
The School covers a broad
curriculum :-
* Plasma
particle dynamics * Waves in
plasmas * Kinetic theory
* MHD
* Computational techniques *
Chaos * Reconnection
* Laser plasmas * Fusion plasmas
* Astrophysical plasmas
*
Solar plasmas * Poster session * Space plasmas * Diagnostics
*
Laboratory visits
A copy of
the course textbook "Plasma Physics: An Introductory Course"
(Cambridge University Press, 1993) is given to each student.
ACCOMMODATION WILL BE IN A HISTORIC COLLEGE OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS : 9th MAY 1997
(Late applications may be accepted,
