Higgs Centre-UKAEA Plasma Physics Workshop

8 Nov 2023, 09:00 → 10 Nov 2023, 17:00 Europe/London

4305 (Higgs Centre)

As part of a joint initiative by the Higgs Centre and UKAEA, we are holding a meeting on plasma physics theory 8-10 Nov, 2023. The meeting aims to bring together UKAEA and university experts and create interaction across this field. We envisage forming a UK-wide virtual centre for plasma theory, which we aim to seed in this first meeting.
