Opis

The study of energetic particles in magnetic fusion plasmas is key to the development of the next generation of "burning" plasma fusion experiments, such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the Demonstration Power Station (DEMO).

O autorze

Dr. Sergei Sharapov is of Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, UK. He graduated in experimental nuclear physics from Moscow Physical Technical Institute in 1985, and did his PhD in the physics and chemistry of plasmas at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. Subsequently, he worked on the theory of nonlinear waves and energetic particle-driven Alfven waves before, in 1993, moving to work on JET and on the spherical tokamaks START and MAST, located at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, UK. Dr. Sharapov's area of interest and expertise lies in the theory, experiment, and diagnosis of energetic particles and energetic particle-driven instabilities
