Summary on Grant Application Form
This is a grant application for travel funds for researchers from Queen's University of Belfast, the University of Strathclyde and Imperial College (London University) to visit the Joint European Torus (JET) experiment (located near Abingdon Oxfordshire). This travel funding will allow an increased level of participation by these UK Universities in the JET programme and follows one the recommendations arising from the Fusion Evaluation Science Panel Report - Culham should aim to maximise the benefit to the UK science and technology base of the unique opportunities offered by the new European arrangements for the JET facilities . This proposal represents an excellent opportunity to strengthen links between these UK univerisities and JET. JET is the European Fusion Programme's flagship device and is the largest tokamak in the world. Leading fusion scientists from throughout Europe come to JET to conduct experiments, along with other international collaborators in some cases. During the visits, for which travel funding is proposed, the UK university researchers will work on conducting experiments in JET and/or on analysing data from the JET device. The work will cover the areas of plasma stability, turbulence and spectroscopic studies, mechanisms of energy loss from the plasma edge and atomic data investigations. There are expected to be strong mutual benefits from these UK University-JET collaborations.
