Keynote

Power exhaust is one of the key problems, which need to be resolved in order to develop a safe, efficient and economically viable thermonuclear reactor. Heat fluxes impinging onto the plasma-facing components (PFCs) inside the reactor can easily exceed its material limits, especially if the real geometry of such components is taken into account.  We present results of particle-in-cell...
