About

Do you want to learn more about controlled nuclear fusion? Then this Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (Polytech –  SOKENDAI) course from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) is for you!

Overview

Key facts

The Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (Polytech –  SOKENDAI) 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.

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.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Plasma phenomena on Earth and in the Universe; historical overview of plasma physics; contemporary research areas and technological applications of plasmas; studies of controlled nuclear fusion.
  • Definition of plasma; quasineutrality, Debye length, plasma frequency.
  • Coulomb collisions, Rutherford’s formula, Coulomb logarithm
  • Motion of a single charged particle in magnetic field; Larmor radius, drifts, magnetic traps.
