News from the Plasma Edge

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
There have been major developments recently in the understanding of the very edge of tokamak plasmas. New experimental analyses, coupled with new heuristic theoretical understanding, has led to a simple and accurate model for the width of the narrow region of plasma that is scraped off the plasma edge and ultimately strikes material surfaces, the Scrape Off Layer or SOL.

The future of cars, robots and humans

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
In the future we will increasingly be surrounded by intelligent technology; both inside our homes as outside on the street, in visible as well as invisible ways. Cars will evolve into iPads on wheels and all kinds of robots will help do our job and take care for the ill and elderly. Living with a private robot will be as common as keeping a pet.

An adjoint approach to divertor design

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Divertor power exhaust is one of the remaining challenges in the design of successful fusion power plants. Usually, one has to resort to plasma edge codes to extrapolate the current understanding of divertor exhaust physics towards the operational windows anticipated in reactors.
