Physics and technology of Inertial Fusion Energy

3 nov 2025, 08:30 → 7 nov 2025, 18:30 Europe/Rome

In the frame of the  Erasmus+ KA220-HED-13A477C3: "Innovative Education & Training in Laser Inertial Fusion Energy" this 5-day bootcamp will consist in a training course for PhD students with focus on diagnostics for Inertial Fusion Energy experiments. It will include lectures and seminars on theoretical aspects and practical schemes of plasma, particle and radiation diagnostics, as well as hands-on exercise in laboratory.
