The school will cover various topics of physics with trapped charged particles. Lectures will cover basic trap physics and recent developments in Penning traps, Paul traps etc., collective behavior and (non-neutral) plasmas, as well as applications for fundamental physics, precision spectroscopy, quantum information, frequency standards, antimatter. Lectures will be systematically complemented by a series of tutorials/exercice sessions. Two poster sessions where participants present their work, and a half-day visit to CERN will also be organised. The participants will each receive a copy of the textbook that is written for the school and is based on the school held in 2015. The school is aimed primarily at PhD students and post docs in the field.

This workshop will focus on staircases and layering in magnetized plasmas, with the aim of promoting progress in mathematical modelling by drawing on theory, simulations, and phenomenology. Topics will include edge and core transport barriers, staircases, avalanching and perturbative experiments, reduced models and their validation. The crucial role of the boundary and the boundary conditions will be emphasized. The workshop will explore approaches to profile and confinement optimization, and discuss future research directions, including approaches to ignition, energetic particle effects and the interplay of electron and ion scales.

FusionX Group

FusionX Group connects capital to opportunity in the fusion energy sector. Capping an extraordinary year in which total private investment into fusion hit $5bn, net energy gain from fusion was achieved in December 2022 in a US government laboratory. Fusion on the grid is on the horizon. Meanwhile, spin-off applications are presenting fusion companies with near-term revenue streams. As an investment, fusion energy is heading towards the mainstream. The time is now.

Institute of Plasma Physics Prague, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Department of Pulsed Plasma Systems

The 15th Frontiers in Low Temperature Plasma Diagnostics (FLTPD XV) workshop is the continuation of a very successful series that started in 1995 in Les Houches (France) and became an important forum for researchers dealing with low-temperature plasma diagnostics.

The main goal of the workshop is to enable an intensive meeting of experts in low-temperature plasma diagnostics and to present the latest developments in the use of a whole range of diagnostic tools for investigating both the basic properties and various applications of low-temperature plasmas. It also provides a unique opportunity for a new generation of researchers to discuss the current state-of-the-art and future prospects of the field with leading scientists. The program traditionally consists of expert presentations by invited speakers, presentations by selected topical speakers and poster presentations.

Research into fusion is entering an exciting new era with several large facilities aiming to achieve the crucial milestone of net energy gain. To create sustained fusion reactions, fusion fuel must be heated to 100 million degrees. The fuel is rapidly converted to plasma, which is extremely difficult to confine and control. New international facilities using high energy lasers and superconducting magnets are crucial steps on the way to reliable fusion energy but there are still many challenges to overcome. This school will prepare to address these challenges. Participants will be introduced to the skills in computational and experimental plasma physics, and conduct cutting-edge research and technology under the guidance of leading international scientists and engineers. Participants will have the opportunities to interact with world-class international fusion experts, making the Fusion Energy School an excellent way to explore your interest in fusion and prepare for a career in this field.

MIAPbP - Munich Institute for Astro-, Particle and BioPhysics an institute of the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS

In recent years, spurred in large part by the development of first-principles numerical simulations, the plasma astrophysics community has made important strides in understanding the plasma processes relevant for astrophysical systems. The next step, which will be a key topic of the MIAPbP program, is to connect the rich plasma behavior to observed radiative phenomena. These phenomena include old puzzles, e.g. hard X-ray emission from accreting black holes, gamma-ray flares from blazars, cosmic ray acceleration, giant magnetar flares and GRBs. Plasma physics is also key to solving new puzzles such as the cosmological FRBs and gamma-rays from neutron star mergers. The role of plasma instabilities is especially prominent in transient phenomena and strong connections are emerging between plasma physics and time-domain astronomy, a quickly developing observational field. Plasma physics also plays an increasing role in multi-messenger astronomy where main targets are energetic compact objects capable of producing neutrinos, gravitational waves, and nonthermal radiation. The current efforts to understand plasma behavior lay the foundations for the future of high-energy astrophysics. Within a two-week MIAPbP program, we want to facilitate progress in this direction by bringing together both senior researchers as well as early-career scientists.
