JOINT MEETING OF US-JAPAN WORKSHOP AND KYOTO UNIVERSITY 21ST COE SYMPOSIUM ON "NEW APPROACH IN PLASMA CONFINEMENT EXPERIMENT IN HELICAL SYSTEMS"

          


We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Joint Meeting of US-Japan Workshop and Kyoto University 21st COE Symposium on NEW APPROACH IN PLASMA CONFINEMENT EXPERIMENT IN HELICAL SYSTEMS to be held at Kyoto University, Japan. The meeting will be organized by The Institute of Advanced Energy of Kyoto University in the frame of the 2003 US-Japan Cooperation Programs in Fusion Physics Area and the Kyoto University 21COE Program, "Establishment of COE on Sustainable Energy System". The meeting covers the topics and areas of the new approach in plasma confinement experiment in helical systems, especially, in advanced helical systems such as quasi-axial, quasi-helical, quasi-poloidal symmetry and quasi-omnigeneous (quasi-isodynamic) devices and in heliotron/torsatron devices. Recent progress of the related experiments, theories, engineering and design studies will be discussed. Further information is given below.
