The winter course EMTRAIC begins at COMPASS tokamak. This course is similar to the SUMTRAIC summer training course, however, it is organised for the students of the Erasmus Mundus Fusion Master programme.
The European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP) is a unique
programme in the EU by the combination of engineering sciences and a dedicated study of various
disciplines of physics (http://www.em-master-fusion.org
).
The jointness/integration of FUSION-EP is evident from multiple components during the course
curriculum, in particular the joint modules. These include for the second master year students a
two-week Joint Experimentation and Analysis Session (EMTRAIC) on the COMPASS Tokamak in December at IPP Prague and a two-week Joint Practicum in
February at
CEA Cadarache
(France).
EMTRAIC 2015 is attended by 15 students from 10 countries divided into 7 groups by topics.
Each group is supervised by 1-2 experts from the COMPASS staff. The training is concluded by
the workshop, where the students present achieved results. Each topical group will also
deliver a report to be evaluated.The topics are strongly related to the current research programme
of COMPASS such as:
- Energy balance at NBI
- Analysis of sawtooth and ELMs instabilities
- Electron and Ion temperatures at L mode with NBI
- GAMs
- Alfven Eigenmodes studies
- Radial profiles of density and its fluctuations,
- Runaway electrons studies
