"Statistical physics for anomalous transport in plasmas"

This Group, with informal structures, involves members from three countries (Belgium, France and Romania) who associates their research in the following fields :

• Tokamak physics
• Statistical Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Theoretical physics and mathematics
• Dynamical Systems, Chaos
• Plasma turbulence
in the aim of an active collaboration to achieve substantial progress in the domain of anomalous transport in hot fusion plasmas, in view of the realisation of controlled thermonuclear fusion



The members of the group, who are directly involved are  :
 

• Dr. Lucian ANTON (South Africa and National Institute of Lasers, Plasmas and Radiation Physics, Bucarest, Romania)
• Pr. Radu BALESCU (Statistical Physics and Plasmas , Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgique)
• Dr.Sorin CIOBANU (National Institute of Lasers, Plasmas and Radiation Physics, Bucarest, Romania)
• Dr. Dana CONSTANTINESCU (University of Craiova, Romania)
• Dr. Jacques MISGUICH (Association Euratom, Cadarache, France)
• Dr. Marian NEGREA (University of Craiova, Romania)
• Dr. Ivan PAVLENKO (Université Libre de Bruxelles & Kharkiv National University, Ukraine)
• Dr. Emilia PETRISOR (University of Timisoara, Romania)
• Dr. Iulian PETRISOR (University of Craiova, Romania)
• Dr. Nicolae POMETESCU (University of Craiova, Romania)
• Dr. Jean-Daniel REUSS (Association Euratom, Cadarache, France)
• Dr. Florin SPINEANU (National Institute of Lasers, Plasmas and Radiation Physics, Bucarest, Romania)
• Dr. György STEINBRECHER (University of Craiova, Romania)
• Dr. Madalina VLAD (National Institute of Lasers, Plasmas and Radiation Physics, Bucarest, Romania)
• Dr. Boris WEYSSOW (Statistical Physics and Plasmas , Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgique)
Besides financial and technical support from their own Institutions, and from their Associations with EURATOM, some physicists have benefitted from a NATO Collaborative Research Grant (Linkage Grant LG971484) from July 1998 to July 2000 and PST.CLG.977397 from december 2000 to december 2002.

A working session has been hold in Bucharest and Sinaia (Romania), from 6 to 15 September 1999 : "First Sinaia Working Session"

4. Professional sites for :
Physics : TIPTOP  Pilot to physics, The physics calendar, Physics around the world, The virtual laboratory, Physics Forum, etc...
Preprints :

• Los Alamos : The electronic archive xxx.lanl.gov is a huge collection of preprints in various areas of physics. The creation of this electronic library is due to Paul Ginsparg and the domain of high energy physics and the related subjects is older and better represented than the others. However there are many papers in the field of Physics/Plasma and statistical physics, dynamical systems, etc. The preprints can be downloaded in Postscript or in Latex source. The speed of downloading is usually very good but there are also mirror sites (as, for exemple,xxx.lpthe.jussieu.fror the site of SISSA, Italy). They can be found on the same page at Los Alamos.
