ECPD 2017: 2nd European Conference on Plasma Diagnostics
The Conference on Plasma Diagnostics is a bi-annual event which aims at bringing together physicists or other scientists working on diagnostics for magnetic confinement fusion, beam plasmas and inertial fusion, low-temperature and industrial plasmas, and basic and astrophysical plasmas.The second edition of the Conference will take place in Bordeaux, France, starting from 18th and finishing on 21st of April 2017.
Wendelstein 7-X fusion device produces its first hydrogen plasma
The Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald produced its first hydrogen plasma on 3 February 2016. This marks the start of scientific operation. Wendelstein 7-X, the world’s largest fusion device of the stellarator type, is to investigate this configuration’s suitability for use in a power plant.
EPS Plasma Physics Division prizes awarded
The 2015 Hannes Alfvén Prize will be awarded at EPS2015 to Nathaniel J. Fisch (PPL, USA) “for his contributions to the understanding of plasma wave‐particle interactions and their applications to efficiently driving currents with radio‐frequency waves”.

41st EPS conference on Plasma Physics
The 41st EPS conference on Plasma Physics will be held from 23-27 June 2014 in Berlin, Germany.
This conference continues the series of plasma physics conferences organized by the European Physical Society covering the wide field from nuclear fusion research to the low temperature plasmas, as well as space and astrophysical plasmas.
A number of scientists accepted to prepare plenary talks of general interest for the participants. Invited talks will be given for the four topics separately, namely on Magnetic Confinement Fusion, on Beam Plasmas and Inertial Fusion…
SPPT 14
The 26th Symposium on Plasma Physics and Technology [SPPT 14] will take place from 16 to 19 June 2014 in Prague, Czech Republic.
This conference, with its first edition dating back to 1967, serves as a meeting point for researchers to present and discuss the latest advances in Plasma Physics as well as the state-of-the-art technology developed for this field.
SPPT 14 covers broad range of Plasma Physics topics, namely: Tokamaks and other magnetic confinement devices…
Accelerators and Fibre Laser Symposium at CERN
The International Coherent Amplification Network [ICAN] held a two-day symposium on new fibre laser-based accelerator concepts at CERN from 27 to 28 June 2013. The symposium assembled a wide range of scientists ranging from particle physicists to telecommunications engineers to explore how a new architecture of high intensity lasers could contribute to the next generation of particle accelerators.The idea behind the use of lasers for particle acceleration exploits the fact that ultrashort laser pulses can generate electric field intensities sufficient to drive plasma wakefield dynamics which can accelerate electrons to GeV energies…
International Joliot-Curie School 2013
The International Joliot-Curie School will take place from 29 September to 4 October 2013 in Fréjus in the south of France.
With the aim of creating and updating the skills of researchers in the field of Quark-Gluon Plasma and Hadronic Structure, this year’s edition of the Joliot-Curie school will address the topic: “A colourful journey: from Hadrons to Quark-Gluon Plasma”. During the school, two sessions will be dedicated to the students’ posters…
