GYROKINETIC PARTICLE SIMULATION OF TURBULENT TRANSPORT IN BURNING PLASMAS (GPS-TTBP)

GPS-TTBP

The U.S. Department of Energy and the University of California at San Diego have entered a cooperative agreement for the purpose of conducting a 3-year mutually agreeable research program entitled "Gyrokinetic Particle Simulation of Turbulent Transport in Burning Plasmas (GPS-TTBP)". Profesor Patrick H. Diamond of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences (CASS) and the Physics Department of the University of California at San Diego is the Lead Investigator. Collaborators on the GPS-TTBP project include Columbia University, the University of California at Davis, the University of California at Irvine, the University of California at Los Angeles, the University of Southern California, the University of Texas at Austin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Princeton University, Plasma Physics Laboratory.
