Control and Operation of Tokamaks

PHYS-748

This course treats the main issues in operation and control of a tokamak. Control-oriented models are derived and controllers are designed using techniques from modern control theory. Operational limits are discussed as well as state-of-the-art research questions for future reactors.

Experimental physics II (for SFU)

UNIL-123

Fusion and industrial plasma technologies

PHYS-632

The course provides an overview of the technologies that are essential for fusion developments and for industrial plasma applications, highlighting the synergies between the two fields. The aim is to provide a combined theoretical and experimental background to the various topics.

Plasma Diagnostics in Basic Plasma Physics Devices and Tokamaks: from Principles to Practice

PHYS-732

The programme will allow students to learn plasma diagnostics and data processing methods of modern fusion experiments and to bridge the gap between diagnostics theory and experimental practice.
