THEORY OF FUSION PLASMAS
JOINT VARENNA - LAUSANNE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP

Villa Monastero, Varenna, Italy
August 27 August 30, 2002

This Meeting is devoted to the Theory of Magnetic Confinement Systems

Organized by
"Perché c'è qualcosa invece di nulla ?"
Vuoto, nulla, zero

Varenna, Villa Monastero 30 settembre - 2 ottobre 2002

"Opinione è il caldo, opinione è il freddo, opinione è il dolce, opinione è l'amaro..reale sono solo gli atomi e il vuoto"
La Fisica vive ancora oggi le sfide di Democrito. Ma la vicenda del "vuoto fisico" si è intrecciata con quella del "nulla filosofico" e dello "zero" in matematica (un numero per il niente).
Nello spirito del dialogo interdisciplinare che contraddistingue i convegni che dal 1992 il "Piero Caldirola International Centre for the promotion of Science" organizza a Varenna, un convegno sull'enigmatica nozione di "nulla" è un modo non solo per fare i conti con le domande di fondo della filosofia , ma anche con gli sviluppi più sconcertanti della Scienza contemporanea.

Il Convegno sarà articolato in cinque sessioni, a ognuna delle quali interverranno fisici, filosofi, teologi, matematici.

 The approval of ITER has started a new era in the field of  magnetic confinement (Tokamak) fusion. The conference is the first appointment of the diagnostic community after the approval of ITER, and it will focus on:    

        
  1. encouragement  and information of young scientists ;    
  2. new concepts on diagnostics  for burning plasma;    
  3. selected topics on diagnostics for ITER : known difficult areas especially, measurements of fast particles,  divertor diagnostics, plasma facing components,dust;
  4.     
  5. foreward look to requirements on diagnostics  for DEMO.
   

The programme will include tutorial lectures, invited oral presentations and posters.

Proceedings

Proceedings are published in the book series "Theory of Fusion Plasmas"
For the first time, in 2010, papers will be published in a refereed journal with IOP. The journal will be Plasma Phys. Contr. Fusion (PPCF), for the main papers, and
Journal of Physics Conference Series (JPCS) for the other papers.
The papers published in PPCF will follow the usual refereeing process of this journal and will be published as a cluster of papers related to the Varenna-Lausanne Theory of Fusion Plasmas 2010 Conference.
The papers published in JPCS will be refereed mainly by the scientific committee and participants of the conference, supervised by X. Garbet and O. Sauter, acting as Editors. The JPCS papers will have a header stating explicitly that the papers have been refereed. Naturally, the refereeing process will be lighter (typically one referee) than the PPCF publication.
When submitting the paper, the author can propose a publication in PPCF or JPCS, however the final decision is under the responsibility of the scientific committee. Typically invited papers will be published in PPCF and contributed papers in JPCS.
Papers, invited (10-12 pages) and contributed (6-8 pages), have to follow the Latex guidelines and templates given in the following zip file: ioplatexguidelines.zip
The deadline for the paper is the week of the conference. Thus either you send the paper before August 30, 2010, by email to Varenna-Lausanne"at"epfl.ch or you bring it to the registration desk during the conference.

 

Registration Fee
Registration fee: 350 EUROS (students 200 EUROS) should be paid in Varenna at the registration desk.
Alternatively, the same fee can be paid by July 31, 2010, by bank transfer to:
Banca Popolare di Lecco, Division of the Deutsche Bank, Via IV Novembre, 23829 VARENNA (LC), Italy,
