Abstract
The second IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on physics and diagnostics of fusion produced alpha particles was hosted by the Institute of Electromagnetic Field Theory and Plasma Physics (IEFT), Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden (for the first meeting see Ref. [1]). The programme and organizing committee consisted of the following members: F. Engelmann (ITER, Garching, Germany), Ya.I. Kolesnichenko (Institute of Nuclear Research (INR), Kiev, USSR), D.J. Sigmar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA), K. Tani (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Japan), H. Wilhelmsson (Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden). The IAEA was represented by V.V. Demchenko, and M. Lisak (Chalmers University) was the chairman of the local arrangements. The meeting was attended by more than 40 participants from eight countries who presented 39 papers. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the alpha particle physics issues of magnetically confined fusion plasmas, to sum up the current theoretical understanding of alpha particle physics, to discuss the imminent experiments with D-T plasma operation and to identify the most important open areas of burning plasma research.
