🟣 Another outstanding expert will share her insights at #PLASMA2025 – International Conference on Research and Application of Plasmas! 🟣 👤 Prof. Agata Chomiczewska  🏢 Affiliation: Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (#IPPLM), Poland  🎤 Speech: Impurity source and control across experiments in H, D, T plasmas at JET-ILW 🔎 What to expect?  Understanding impurity behaviour in fusion plasmas is crucial for achieving sustained high-performance operation in #ITER and future reactors. This lecture provides an integrated overview of experimental and theoretical studies conducted at the Joint European Torus with ITER-like wall (#JET-ILW), investigating impurity sources, transport, and control strategies in hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), tritium (T), and deuterium-tritium (DT) plasmas under a variety of operational scenarios. The analysis encompasses key heating methods such as ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) and neutral beam injection (NBI), and covers a broad range of plasma regimes including L-mode, ELMy H-mode, baseline, and hybrid scenarios. Data from bolometry, VUV, and visible spectroscopy were used to evaluate the behaviour of low-Z (Be), mid-Z (Ni, Cu, Fe), and high-Z (W) impurities under varying plasma conditions. 👩🔬 About the speaker  Agata Chomiczewska is a physicist and professor at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM) in Warsaw, where she leads the Department of Thermonuclear Plasma Research and Space Technologies. She graduated from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and began working at IPPLM in 2005, where she continues her scientific career. In 2012, she earned her PhD in physics from the National Centre for Nuclear Research, followed by her habilitation in 2020. Since 2016, she has been Poland’s national coordinator for research on European experimental fusion devices (tokamaks) located in the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Japan. In 2024, she became a member of the project board of the Fusion Science Department within the #EUROfusion consortium. Her main research areas include nuclear fusion, with a particular focus on impurity studies in fusion plasmas using spectroscopic diagnostics in magnetically confined systems. She is also a member of the international scientific team that, in recent years, achieved a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion at the world’s largest tokamak – JET in the UK.

It took a while, but our latest article related to laser-driven neutron production is now available online in open access in Nature Portfolio https://lnkd.in/d9dnzD26 Careful design of cavity-type targets opens up possibilities of achieving plasma parameters which were reserved for orders of magnitude more intense laser pulses... until now 👀 This Autumn we're taking another shot at pushing the density and pressure of laser-produced plasma to extreme - nowhere other than in ELI - Extreme Light Infrastructure.
