Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)

On behalf of the Executive Scientific Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the 3rd International Conference on Data-Driven Plasma Science (ICDDPS-3), which will be held at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Okinawa, Japan, from the 20th to 24th April, 2020. Prior to the Conference, one-day tutorial classes called School of Data-Driven Plasma Science will be held in the same location on the 19th April, 2020. The goal of the Conference is for the participants to gain information on and to discuss latest research activities in data-driven science (such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, image processing, data mining, and big data) applied to plasma science and technologies, including, but not limited to, plasma processing and nuclear fusion. Thanks to the recent advancement of sophisticated diagnostics techniques and first-principle computer simulations, the amount of data that one can accumulate in typical research is increasing exponentially. Plasma scientists should also be able to take full advantage of, or even contribute to, the latest development of data-driven science and devise a way to extract essential information efficiently from such data. The extracted information then may be used for more efficient plasmas control and/or offer good insight into physical mechanisms of the phenomena that they study. This year, ICDDPS-3 will be held concurrently with the 12th EU-Japan Joint Symposium on Plasma Processing (JSPP2020) and the registered participants of the conference are welcome to attend the sessions of the JSPP2020 free of charge. We hope that this Conference will facilitate research activities in such areas.

ITER Organization

ITER will be the first fusion device to produce net energy. ITER will be the first fusion device to maintain fusion for long periods of time. And ITER will be the first fusion device to test the integrated technologies, materials, and physics regimes necessary for the commercial production of fusion-based electricity. In southern France, 35 nations are collaborating to build the world's largest tokamak, a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy based on the same principle that powers our Sun and stars. The experimental campaign that will be carried out at ITER is crucial to advancing fusion science and preparing the way for the fusion power plants of tomorrow.

The subject of this year’s school is “The Impact and Consequences of Energetic Particles on Fusion Plasmas”. As the start of ITER operations approaches, it is timely to address this multidisciplinary topic that includes plasma self-heating by fusion-born alpha-particles, the influence of energetic particles on stability, diagnosing energetic particle transport and loss, and understanding runaway electrons. The ITER International School aims to prepare young scientists and engineers for working in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the ITER Project. The adoption of a “school format” was a consequence of the need to prepare future scientists and engineers on a range of different subjects and to provide them with a wide overview of the interdisciplinary skills required by the ITER project.

The Summer School is intended to give the students an introduction to the fundamentals of plasma physics together with an appreciation of how these are related to applications such as Magnetic Confinement Fusion, Laser Plasma and Inertial Confinement Fusion, Low Temperature Plasma and Astrophysical Plasmas. Specific topics in these fields are also treated in depth.

The ICMAP 2020 is initiated to provide an open forum for the discussion of the current status of scientific and technological achievements in the various fields of plasma applied research and developments including microelectronic devices.

Following theoretical and numerical explorations of helicon discharge in 1960s, the first helicon plasma was obtained experimentally by Rod Boswell in 1970 at Flinders University of South Australia (refer to the first publication of Phys. Lett. 33A: 457–458, 1970). Due to its remarkable ionization efficiency and high plasma density, helicon plasma has been used widely in many fields such as semiconductor processing, plasma propulsion, electrodeless beam source, laser plasma source, plasma source for magnetic fusion study, Alfvén wave propagation, RF current drive, and laser accelerators. Given that the detailed mechanism of helicon discharge is still not fully understood and significant advances have been made since the last mini-conference on helicon plasma sources (part of 2007 APS-DPP Meeting), it is therefore of great necessity and importance to organize a workshop for scientists in this field to have discussions and exchange ideas. This will be also a 50th anniversary of helicon plasma generation (1970-2020). The 1st Helicon Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop (HPPAW) will be held by the Institute of Plasma Physics (Chinese Academy of Sciences) in September 22-25, 2020, Hefei, China. It will be in form of invited reviewing presentations and oral presentations on new developments and frontiers of helicon plasma physics and applications.

The history of ICPDP started in 1996 in Goa (India) as a response to growing interest in the topics of dusty plasmas, when the liquid and crystalline plasma was discovered. We continue a series of International Conferences on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas which take place every three years at different locations around the world (Goa, India 1996; Hakone, Japan 1999; Durban, South Africa 2002; Orleans, France 2005; Azores, Portugal 2008, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany 2011, New Delhi, India 2014, Prague, Czech Republic 2017). The conference provides a unique opportunity for disseminating the present status of dusty plasma physics worldwide and especially to young researchers. Ninth ICPDP conference is hosted by the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Science (IKI), Moscow, Russia. IKI acronym comes from Russian “Institut Kosmicheskih Issledovanyi”, which is Space Research Institute, and is used in English as is. IKI designs and builds scientific instruments for space experiments, acts as principal organization for various scientific space projects and missions, and uses the data of space probes to deepen our understanding of space and Earth. At present a significant topic of research at IKI is the space dust and dusty plasmas.

Like many other stars and planets, the Earth and the Sun possess magnetic fields built by dynamo action. Unlike the magnetism of most other astrophysical objects, though, the Solar and terrestrial fields have been closely studied for generations, yielding a wide variety of observational constraints that continue to challenge theory and defy prediction. Both analytical theory and numerical simulations have cumulatively yielded significant insight into how both objects build their magnetism, but a comprehensive understanding of this process has remained elusive. This meeting will aim to scrutinise and assess the results of such modelling efforts by comparison to the vast and ongoing array of observations of both the Earth and the Sun.

A fascinating and surprising phenomenon that can occur in fluid and plasma turbulence is the spontaneous formation of arrays of layers in which material properties such as density adopt a so-called “staircase” structure. The most striking examples are potential vorticity staircases in planetary atmospheres, and thermohaline staircases in the oceans. Theoretical considerations suggest that layering also plays an important role in stellar interiors (particularly through various double-diffusive processes) and in fusion confinement devices (the so-called E x B staircase). Understanding the phenomenon of layering is, therefore, not only of intrinsic scientific interest (e.g., is there a common thread to layering in these very different contexts?), but is also crucial for an accurate description of turbulent transport in, for example, models of large-scale ocean flow, the evolution of stellar interiors and confinement in tokamaks.
