Plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion research

This conference report gives a summary of papers presented at the conference on the following topics: magnetic confinement experiments; magnetic confinement theory (neo-classical theory; ideal MHD theory and finite Larmor radius; tearing modes: disruptions; drift waves; trapped-particle modes; drift cone mode: mirror confinement); inertial confinement (absorption of laser radiation; microballoon compression by laser radiation and the stability problem; investigations with electron beams); thermonuclear reactor systems (design studies; plasma-wall interaction; neutral injectors; energy storage and transfer; plasma burning instabilities)
