announcement (including facility capabilities) attending the forum electronically |
purpose | format | task force areas | title submission | capabilities The purpose of the Forum is to provide an opportunity for presentation of specific ideas appropriate for experiments during C-Mod's 2005 run campaign. As usual, the Forum will be open to all interested parties including current and potential future collaborators. The focus of the CY 2005 run campaign will be experiments that utilize our new 3MW Lower Hybrid capability, but proposals in other topical areas may be submitted as well. The format of the presentations will consist of a five-minute, no-more-than-three-slide, talk summarizing the basic idea and benefits of each proposed experiment, as well as its motivation, goals, and general plan of execution. All presentations must be in electronic form (.pdf, MSWord, or PowerPoint documents). Please name each idea "Ideas05_your-last-name_first-two-words-in-ideas-title.ext", where "ext" is the appropriate extension (.pdf, .doc, or .ppt). Examples: · Ideas05_coppi_high-beta.ppt · Ideas05_murakami_lh-scaling.pdf Local presenters should follow these instructions, while remote presenters should find instructions here. We will link all presentations on the Forum Agenda page, so that, upon presentation, you or the moderator can easily call up the document from the Agenda page. Individuals may present as many ideas on separate topics as they wish, but each presentation should be self-contained and limited to five minutes. Brief, constructive, group discussion will follow each presentation; the discussion should focus on clarification, not detailed critiques. Click here for examples of presentations made at the last Forum (Dec. 2003). This year the Forum is organized around two "focus" areas and five topical science areas. We solicit Ideas within those areas. The two focus areas are:
The five topical science areas are:
Please indicate on your submission which area is most relevant to your idea. A task force will be assembled to organize and prioritize the proposals/ideas in each of the seven areas. Initial run time allocations will be based upon the task force prioritization. A listing of the task forces for FY2005 and their coordinators can be found here. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the appropriate coordinators prior to submitting their ideas to avoid duplication and to facilitate a coherent approach. Presentation of ideas about new diagnostics and/or analysis methods is also encouraged for this Forum. Examples of presentations from previous forums can be found here and here. Titles for presentations should be sent via
e-mail to IdeasForum@psfc.mit.edu;
the deadline for title submissions is Run Campaigns and Capabilities At least 14 weeks of research operation are planned for the 2005 campaign. Plasma operation is scheduled to begin in early February 2005, following installation of the new lower hybrid system. We do not currently have plans for an up-to-air during the campaign, but if needed the schedule allows for one after initian operation of the lower hybrid system. Please be aware that there are exisiting, already-approved experimental proposals that will "compete" for run time on an equal basis with the new ones from the Forum. These exisiting proposals/ideas can be examined here. The ideas listed there need not be re-proposed at the 2005 Ideas Forum. A short summary of the expected machine capabilities/parameters/diagnostics for the 2005 campaign follows. For a more comprehensive view, please visit the C-Mod website or contact us.
