Call for Proposals

Proposal Template

We invite your institutions to participate in the 2010 RFX-mod scientific programme and to join the 2010 RFX-mod programme workshop (remote participation available)!

Consorzio RFX is strongly committed to provide, with RFX-mod, a facility open to the needs of the international fusion communities, and to realize an experimental programme fully integrated in the European effort for fusion and in the international RFP strategy.

RFX-mod is a flexible reversed field pinch (RFP) device, capable of addressing problems at the leading edge of fusion science, with strong interaction with tokamak and stellarator physics.

The recent experimental campaigns were extremely successful, with a number of high-quality results, which significantly advanced the understanding and the fusion perspectives of the RFP: among them the discovery of improved performance helical states with strong electron transport barrier, which is leading to intense collaboration with the stellarator community - and the advancements in active control of MHD stability - with fruitful collaborations with the tokamak and the production of preliminary results on feedback control of the (2,1) mode in low qedge tokamak plasmas.

The 2010 RFX-mod science & technology programme fits into four main headlines which will shape the long term strategy of the laboratory:
• Exploring RFP improved confinement scenarios.
• Contributing to the fusion community effort on active control of MHD stability, also by the realization of mode control experiments in RFX-mod tokamak plasmas.
• Contributing to the advancement of fusion science
• Performing experiments finalized to explore and answer open issues for the upgrade of the existing RFP devices and for conceptual design of new ones.

we invite you to make new proposals for experiments, data analysis and interpretation activities.
You may find here the call for experimental proposals and the template for presenting proposals.
Proposal should be sent via e-mail to the address: proposals@igi.cnr.it

We would appreciate receiving your proposals by February 6th, 2010.

The 2010 RFX-mod programme workshop
A programme seminar, open to all proposal authors and to colleagues interested in collaborating with the RFX-mod experimental programme, will be held in Padova from February 10th to 12th , 2010.
The workshop is:
•A forum to discuss the experimental proposals and prepare the 2010 RFX-mod campaign 

•An opportunity for external collaborators to learn about the RFX-mod research program

•An opportunity to improve the integration of the RFX-mod programme into the international fusion effort
A detailed agenda will be published soon!
