1.INTRODUCTION
In particular, the present scientific and technical Physics Programme is performed in the following Laboratories (with mention of Principal Investigators and active collaborations):
-
National Centre for Scientific Research "Demokritos", Institute for Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection (N. TSOIS): SOL and divertor physics diagnostics, data base development and simulation (in collaboration with IPP)
-
National Technical University of Athens, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (J. VOMVORIDIS) and University of Athens, Faculty of Physics (I. TIGELIS): high-power microwaves and plasma/electron beam instabilities, non-linear relativistic dynamics of charged particles, EM scattering (in collaboration with CRPP and FZK).
-
University of Ioannina, Department of Physics (G. THROUMOULOPOULOS): negative-energy perturbations related to non-linear (micro)instabilities, stationary MHD states in magnetically-confined plasmas (in collaboration with IPP).
-
Foundation for Research and Technology, Institute of Electronic Structure and Lasers (P. LALOUSIS): Vapour shield phenomena during hard disruptions, development of codes (in collaboration with IPP).
-
University of Thessaly, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (N. VLACHOS), National Technical University of Athens, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (K. HIZANIDIS) and University of Athens, Department of Physics (C. POLYMILIS): MHD turbulent transport, stochastic modelling, transport and chaos and MHD instabilities in fusion plasmas (in collaboration with ULB).
The Technology Programme is performed exclusively at the National Centre for Scientific Research "Demokritos", Institute for Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection (S. MESSOLORAS): Fracture micromechanisms of ceramic composites and joints under irradiation, brazing with thermomechanical testing (in collaboration with CEA).
The Physics and the Technology work performed during the period 22 June 1999 to 31 December 2000 is outlined in the following paragraphs. For several activities, more extensive summaries of the work performed are appended as Annexes to this Report, with appropriate reference made in the main body of the text. Finally, in the Appendix a list of publications is given.
