Advanced Core-to-Core Network for High-Temperature Plasma Dynamics and Structure Formation Based on Magnetic Field Diversity, “PLADyS” (JSPS)

Leader: Prof. Kazunobu Nagasaki
Project Period: FY2019 – FY2023

This project is aimed at constructing an international research center that creates a new science for understanding the structure formation in nature. The structure formation from the turbulent state and the role of high-energy particle dynamics in high-temperature plasmas confined by various magnetic fields are investigated by precise experiments, theoretical analysis and simulation. The goal is to establish an international research consortium on high-temperature plasma dynamics and structure formation in Kyoto University in collaboration with Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (Germany), The University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), and Southwest Jiaotong University (China).
