- Abstracts for contributed talks and presentations February 14, 2003
- Hotel Reservations March 1, 2003
Meeting
Format
This year we will continue last year’s
successful experiment with preview talks followed by extended discussion
time. If you would like to propose a topic on an important outstanding
transport issue and nominate a speaker, the deadline is January 24, 2003.
These talks are intended to provide some review of present status, but
to emphasize outstanding issues for future work with an aim to stimulate
discussion. These are not standard invited talks that feature the
speaker’s own research.
Preview
and invited talk nominations
Suggestions and nominations for preview
topics, speakers, and invited talk speakers should be sent by on-line or
by e-mail to Paul Terry (pwterry@facstaff.wisc.edu)
by January 24, 2003. The online form is available here.
Registration
and abstracts for contributed presentations
Preregistration and contributed abstract
submission can be done on line or via fax or email to Paul Terry (pwterry@facstaff.wisc.edu)
by February 14, 2003. The online preregistration form is here.
Working
Groups
TTF working groups provide a structure
for furthering research and collaborative ventures in fusion transport
science. At the meeting they provide forums for many of the presentations
and discussion. The TTF working groups have been recently restructured.
The working groups on H mode physics, core transport, and fast particle
physics are designated as topical working groups. The working groups
on modeling and transient phenomena have been designated as cross cutting
working groups. The latter may meet alone to discuss methodology
and technical details, or participate in topical group sessions to which
their techniques and investigations contribute.
The TTF is advocating a transport initiative in the US Fusion program, intended to secure an increment in the fusion budget. This initiative would provide new tools needed to make progress in understanding, characterizing and controlling transport in areas which remain unsolved. Presentations are welcomed that describe work on the development of new diagnostics and new analysis techniques with the ability to shed light on the problems of electron thermal transport, H mode and pedestal physics, ion thermal transport, particle transport, and momentum transport.
