Explores Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability, ideal MHD solutions, 'hairy ball' theorem, and boundary conditions.
Explores MHD stability, instabilities, and operational limits in tokamak plasmas, emphasizing the importance of understanding equilibrium stability and the impact of instabilities on plasma confinement.
Explores the use of waves for heating and current drive in tokamaks, focusing on ICRH and LH waves, their mechanisms, and antenna features.
Explores burning plasma specifics, fast ions role, losses, MHD modes, turbulence, Alfvén waves interaction, and burn stability.
Explores the progress in magnetic confinement fusion, roadmaps to fusion power, ITER components, and the path towards DEMO.
Explores stellarators as alternatives to tokamaks, discussing 3D magnetic configurations, pros and cons, history, and other confinement concepts.
Covers magnetic reconnection, rising flux tubes, the Sweet-Parker model, energy balance, and open questions in plasma physics.
