Overview
The Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion course from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) is suitable as the first plasma physics course or an add-on course for senior undergraduate students and graduate students.
Key facts
- The primary objective of the course is to present the fundamentals of plasma physics particularly highlighting high-temperature plasma physics and its applications to controlled fusion. The course begins with an overview of plasma phenomena and their applications. The lectures cover Coulomb collisions, single particle motion in magnetic field, magnetic traps, principles of controlled fusion, plasma heating and diagnostics. The program also includes study visits to a tokamak laboratory and a laboratory for plasma technologies.
