IRradiation Effects on HTS for Fusion
15-19 February 2027, Torino, Italy
Scope:
The goal of the workshop is to create a strong network of researchers that unites the competences coming from the nuclear fusion community with those from scholars who worked on the high temperature superconductors (HTS). In our view this is a crucial step to tackle the several challenges related to the effects of particle radiation on the HTS tapes that are enabling the development of compact fusion reactors.
Important dates:
Abstract submission open: September 2nd
Abstract submission deadline: September 30th
Registration open: October 1st
Topics:
- HTS technology for fusion
– State-of-the-art of HTS wires and tapes
– Needs for magnets in compact fusion reactors - Radiation damage
– Neutronics and radiation environment
