ENERGETIC PARTICLES IN MAGNETIC CONFINEMENT SYSTEMS
11^th IAEA TM – 20^th Anniversary Meeting
21 – 23 September 2009
Kyiv, Ukraine

The 11^th IAEA Technical Meeting on Energetic Particles in Magnetic Confinement Systems will take place in Kyiv, Ukraine. This will be an anniversary meeting, 20 years after the first meeting in this series held in Kyiv (1989). Like the first meeting, this meeting will be hosted by the Institute for Nuclear Research, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The first meeting and several subsequent meetings [Aspenäs (1991), Trieste (1993), Princeton (1995), and JET/Abingdon (1997)] were entitled “Alpha Particles in Fusion Research”. During the JET/Abingdon meeting in 1997 it was decided to extend the topic by including other suprathermal particles, in particular, accelerated electrons, and rename the meetings accordingly. The subsequent meetings with the current name “Energetic Particles in Magnetic Confinement Systems” were held in Naka (1999), Gothenburg (2001), San Diego (2003), Takayama (2005) and Kloster Seeon (2007).

Following recommendation from the International Fusion Research Council, the IAEA will continue to organize the series of Technical Meetings (TM’s) on the subject of Energetic Particles in 2009.
