The Alcator C-Mod Ideas Forum will be held on December 12-14, 2001 at the
MIT Plasma Fusion Center
175 Albany Street
Cambridge, MA
Room NW17-218

The "Ideas Forum" aids in planning the FY02 C-Mod Operating Campaign.  The purpose of the forum is to provide an opportunity for presentation of specific ideas appropriate for experiments during C-Mod's 2002 run campaign. As usual, the Forum will be open to all interested parties, including current and potential future collaborators.

Presentations will consist of a five-minute, no-more-than-three-slide, talks summarizing the basic idea and benefits of each proposed experiment. The meeting will be available for remote participation and presentations. Brief, constructive, group discussion will follow each presentation; the discussion should focus on clarification, not detailed critiques.
