The 44th International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) Pedestal and Edge Physics (PEP) Topical Group meeting will be held from September 30 to October 3, 2024.
The scope of the PEP Topical Group is to coordinate pedestal plasma physics research: initiate collaborative research activities among international fusion research establishments to improve the understanding of pedestal physics, with a focus on the key questions for ITER; develop, maintain and analyze the international pedestal databases, assessing the implications for ITER; and carry out theory and modelling, integrated with experimental activity, to advance scientific knowledge and so reduce uncertainties in predictions for fusion devices, such as ITER. Based on these activities, the Topical Group shall make recommendations for the physics research areas and methodologies to address key remaining questions for pedestal fusion research. Since the region treated by the Pedestal and Edge Physics Topical Group is the boundary between the core and the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL)/divertor regions, and the topic has implications for ITER diagnostics, as well as overlaps with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the group shall seek to benefit from collaborative activities with the other Topical Groups.
The meeting is hosted by Naka Institute for Fusion Science and Technology, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST-Naka).
TOPICS:
- ELMs and pedestal structure
- Pedestal impact of changes to the ITER Research Plan
- Effect of 3D Fields on pedestal transport
- Reports from joint experiments
- Status of NF Special Issue
- PEP proposals for new high priority IRP research tasks
