After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyse experimental and theoretical problems in the field of (magnetic) nuclear fusion and to name the advantages but also the problems in the realisation of this new energy source.
Introduction to principles of nuclear fusion reactions and magnetically confined hot plasmas; plasma physics, energy balance criteria, principles of plasma confinement (magnetical, inertial); status of international development of experiments, plasma diagnostics, heating methods, transport processes
