We offer at ISTTOK several training programs from short programs till PhDs in Physics Engineering.

Short training

The short training programs normally follow the IST PlasmaSurf summer scholl and is a 2-week internship on Tokamak Engineering and Operation. This internship take place at ISTTOK premises in IST Alameda campus, Lisbon.

Objectives

The proposed research activity is oriented to develop experimental skills in tokamak engineering and operation. It will be based on live training actions and morning courses. During the courses, the trainees will become acquainted with most diagnostics and techniques for tokamak operation and control algorithms for assisted discharges. Those courses will be complemented with practical sessions on ISTTOK, in view of the discharge set-up and plasma performance evaluation.

The course focus on engineering aspects, namely on the actuators such as the power supplies, gas inlet systems, vacuum grading and technical diagnostics. A general introduction to some popular diagnostics systems will be addressed both theoretically and practical, covering magnetic probes, Langmuir probes, spectroscopy, tomography, bolometry, interferometry and residual gas-analyzer techniques.

Those students need to provide (i) evidence to study in the field of nuclear fusion (Master or PhD), (ii) a recommendation letter from a scholar in the field and (iii) a motivation letter.

Only accommodation and travel will be granted during the training. No stipend and meals are due per participant.

Agenda

The course will take place at IST / Alameda campus, Physics department, room 2-8.11 () during Spring and Fall. Classes will take place at Room 7 (pending confirmation), North Garden Pavilion.
