General lectures
The first week of the school focuses on general lectures covering a wide range of topics from tokamak and sub-systems, basic notions of plasma physics, plasma scenarios to tokamak operation.
Visits
Several visits including the tokamak hall, auxiliary systems, diagnostics laboratories and the JT-60SA control room allow a unique in-depth comprehensive insight into the world's largest tokamak.
Topical lectures
Dedicated lectures are organised on 4 topics selected each year. In 2023 for the 1st edition of the JIFS school, the topics are:
- Diagnostics
- Scenarios
- Tokamak Operations
- Plasma-wall Interaction.
Practical exercises
The school programme includes 6 sessions of practical exercises, connected with the previous lectures, for which students will be divided into 5 groups of 4. The subjects of these practical exercises are:
- Tokamak and sub-systems
- Diagnostics
- Scenarios
- Tokamak Operations
- Plasma-wall Interaction
and each of them will consist of 2 different modules. Each group of students will attend 2 modules belonging to two different subjects.
Students' presentations
On the last day, students will be asked to give a short 10 minute presentation each on results obtained in the exercise sessions.
