20th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions

May 21, 2012 - May 25, 2012 | Aachen, Germany

Scope

The objective of the 20th PSI Conference is to provide 
and exchange the most recent scientific knowledge on 
the physical processes at the interface between fusion 
plasmas and the plasma-facing components and to 
evaluate their implications for the coming generation 
of fusion machines.

Topics

• Physics Processes at the Plasma-Material Interface
• Plasma Fuelling, Recycling, and Retention
• Wall Conditioning and Tritium Removal Techniques
• Impurity Sources, Transport, and Control
• Material Erosion, Migration, Mixing, and Dust Formation
• Plasma Boundary Physics and Main Chamber Interaction
• Plasma Exhaust and Density Control
• Power Exhaust and Heat Load Control
• Plasma Edge and First Wall Diagnostics
• Plasma Surface Interaction in the
Steady-State Reactor Regime

Proceedings

High quality papers, contributing to the practical 
application and development of PSI knowledge in present 
plasma devices and future reactors will be considered for 
publication. Papers written on the basis of invited, oral and 
selected poster contributions will be published after peer 
review and evaluation in a dedicated issue of Journal of 
Nuclear Materials.
