Introduction
This school is organized once a year during one week. We offer the unique possibility to join, free of charge, a 5-day summer school in Roscoff (Brittany) at the Marine station. This school is targeting students entering the master level, but can also be appreciated by master students to broaden their horizon or PhD students that are searching to change research topics.
Lectures, accommodation (hotel and restaurant) and transfer Paris - Roscoff are free of charge. (Date of departure from Paris: August 29 / Return: September 4)
Objective
The main objective of the summer school is to introduce plasma physics in any state from Laboratory, to the distant universe. PLAS@PAR selects good ranked students with a good background in physics or applied mathematics, to introduce them to the diversity of plasma physics. Hence the formation covers various aspects of plasmas: astrophysical and natural plasmas, laboratory plasmas generated by lasers, electrical devices, ion beams, and also cold plasmas for industrial applications etc.
Provisional program
Plenary lectures and hands-on sessions on:
- Introduction to Plasma Physics
- Astrophysical Plasmas
- Spectroscopy : foundations and applications for diagnostic
- Symbiosis between plasmas and technologies
- Plasmas for Energy and Fusion (Tokamak and other Devices)
- Plasma for Environment
- Laser generated Plasmas
- Plasma physics as an innovative opportunity for space propulsion
Admission
As a result of the limited available spots (max. 25 students), the selection will be made based on a CV and the shortlisting of the students will be undertaken at the beginning of June.
