Preface of the Editors
The 34th European Physical Society (EPS) Conference on
Plasma Physics was held in Warsaw, at the Warsaw Congress Centre (WCC)
in the Palace of Science and Culture from 2nd to 6th of July, 2007.
The scientific programme of the conference and the selection of papers
were the responsibility of the international Programme Committee
appointed by the board of the EPS Plasma Physics Division. This
committee selected 11 invited plenary talks and 63 invited parallel
talks. Furthermore, there were 73 oral and 551 poster presentations.
The 34th EPS Conference brought together 655 plasma physicists from 37 countries.
This year's Hannes Alfvén prize was awarded to Prof. Fritz Wagner
(Max-Planck Institut für Plasmaphysik, EURATOM Association,
Greifswald, Gemany), who gave a talk entitled Quarter Century of H-mode
Studies.
The Plasma Physics Division of the EPS sponsored the EPS PPD PhD
Research Award that recognizes exceptional quality of work carried out
by young physicists as part of their PhD research in any area of plasma
physics.
The prize was awarded to four students: N. Mahdizadeh (University of Stuttgart, Germany, "Investigation of three-dimensional turbulent structures in the torsatron TJ-K"); Y.Glinec
(Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France, "Propagation of an
ultra-intense laser pulse in an under-dense plasma: Production of quasi
monoenergetic electron beams and development of applications"); O. Arp
(Christian-Albrechts-University, Kiel, Germany, "Coulomb balls -
structure and confinement of spherical dust crystals in a plasma"); A.G.R Thomas
(Imperial College, London, UK, “Studies of laser propagation and
mono-energetic electron beam injection in laser wakefield
accelerators").
For the third time, Professor Sanae-I Itoh, in agreement with the conference organizers, has offered the Itoh Project Prize in Plasma Turbulence to students presenting a poster at the conference. The prize was awarded to Peter Manz,
PhD student from University of Stuttgart, Germany ("Experimental
estimation of nonlinear energy transfer in two-dimensional plasma
turbulence"). He was given the chance to visit Kyushu University, Japan
for one week, including flights and living expenses.
There were two additionally sessions: Women in Physics and ITER Session
chaired by Dr. Günter Janeschitz (co-coordinator of the ITER
Design Review Process).
The invited papers have been refereed by members of the Programme
Committee and invited experienced scientists. The proceedings will be
published in December 2007 in a special issue of the journal Plasma
Physics and Controlled Fusion. A copy will be sent to each participant
who requested one during the registration and paid a correct fee. All
participants who haven’t requested their copies are encourage to
contact us and order one (valid till last copies are available).
The ELISE conference submission program was developed at the
Centre
des
Recherches en Physique des Plasmas (CRPP) at the Ecole Polytechnique
Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
by Ch. Nieswand and B.P. Duval.
For this conference it was operated by B.P. Duval for both the
abstract
submission process and
the oral and poster contribution submissions. Further information on
the operation of ELISE for this conference is
available in [About the CDRom],
Final editing and CD-ROM production was carried out by the
Local
Organising Committee using the submissions processed by ELISE.
