SUMMARY:Particle transport from the bottom up\, Plasma Physics (Physic
 s/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Dr. Saskia Mordijck\, College of William and M
 ary
DESCRIPTION:One of the largest challenges we are facing in the 21st ce
 ntury\, is that of providing clean\, cheap energy to accommodate our g
 rowing world population and to improve the living conditions in 3rd wo
 rld countries\, while maintaining the high standards of living we have
  come to enjoy in the developed world. One promising technique to prod
 uce electricity on a large scale is nuclear fusion. In order to contai
 n the plasma that reaches temperatures that are higher than those in t
 he core of the sun\, we use magnetic fields in a magnetic confinement 
 device called a tokamak. The fusion gain is directly linked to the den
 sity of the plasma. However\, due to the high temperatures\, it imposs
 ible to fuel the core of the plasma directly. In this talk I will eluc
 idate how particle transport changes from the core to the plasma edge 
 as a result of changes in turbulence characteristics.
