 1ST EPS CONFERENCE ON PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS

Villa Mondragone, Frascati, Italy

April 14-17, 2015

Dear Friends, and Colleagues, It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 1st EPS Conference on Plasma Diagnostics, which will be held at Villa Mondragone, in Monte Porzio Catone, near Rome, in Italy from April 14 to April 17, 2015. The conference is organized by ENEA Fusione with the cooperation of the Rome University of Tor Vergata. Villa Mondragone is a patrician villa originally in the territory of the Italian Commune of Frascati, now in the territory of Monte Porzio Catone, It lies on a hill 416m above sea-level, in an area called, from its many castles and villas, Castelli Romani, about 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Rome, near the ancient town of Tusculum. The Construction began in 1573 by Cardinal Mark Sittich von Hohenems Altemps, who commissioned the design for it and for the Palazzo Altemps in central Rome to Martino Longhi the Elder, on the site of the remains of a Roman villa of the consular family of the Quinctilii. Now it is property of the University of Tor Vergata and it is a location dedicated to conferences and scientific meetings. The scope of the EU Plasma Diagnostics Conference, whose first edition will be held in Italy, is to favor cross-fertilization among scientists from all areas of plasma diagnostics. We look forward for the EPS Endorsment that will allow the growth of this event to the level of a major EU conference on plasma diagnostics. We invite all of you to contribute to the conference submitting your latest results and to join us in Italy for discussing the developments and applications of plasma diagnostics. We look forward to welcoming you to the ECPD2015 at Villa Mondragone next April.

         

     

TOPICS * magnetic confinement fusion * beam plasma and inertial fusion * low temperature and industrial plasmas * basic and astrophysical plasmas Preliminary programme can be consulted at the conference web page: http://www.ecpd2015.enea.it/index.php/scientificprogramme.
