The ultimate goal of the US-EU Transport Task Force (TTF) is to develop a physics-based understanding of particle, momentum and heat transport in magnetic fusion devices. This understanding should be of sufficient depth that it allows the development of predictive models of plasma transport that can be validated against experiment, and then used to simulate the future performance of burning plasmas in ITER, and next-step fusion energy reactors. To achieve success in transport science, it is essential to characterize local fluctuations and transport in fusion grade plasmas, to understand the basic mechanisms responsible for transport, and ultimately to control these transport processes. These goals must be pursued in multiple research thrusts, and the TTF workshop focus topics evolve to reflect emerging advances in physics understanding.
The 2022 Workshop will continue an emphasis on developing and using transport tools to predict the outcome of experiments in present fusion plasma research machines. This Predict First Initiative will enhance the efficient use of experimental runtime in the near term and will provide more rigorous validation tests for the theory taking the next step towards the ultimate goal of the TTF to produce validated predictive transport models.
While many of the attendee employers have policies requiring vaccination, remember that it is not proof against infection, and that other attendees may not be vaccinated themselves, or have individuals in their household who are unvaccinated (e.g. young children) or are immunocompromised. A successful workshop will require extra care and diligence on the part of attendees, and we ask that all please be considerate and cautious in regards to COVID. Please note that all TTF attendees (in-person or virtual) are expected to follow the APS meeting code of conduct, available at https://www.aps.org/meetings/policies/code-conduct.cfm. This includes respecting other attendees personal choices regarding COVID precautions, vaccination, and masking.
