Nowadays, Tokamak is the leading technological concept for realization of controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions for power generation purposes. In tokamaks, magnetic field generated by external windings as well as by currents through plasma itself serves as a “container” for hot thermonuclear plasma. Proper measurement of magnetic field often with required accuracy as high as 0.1%, its reliable control often real-time using advanced algorithms and cutting-edge hardware tools and good theoretical understanding of interplay between external magnetic field and plasma are all critical for successful mission of tokamak reactor as an inexhaustible energy source for future generations.
IPP Prague pursues high quality R&D well integrated into European fusion programme in all above mentioned areas. We are world-wide leading lab in development of radiation resistant and high temperature compatible Hall sensors based magnetometric systems for ITER, DEMO and other fusion reactors. We are engaged in development of novel inductive sensors based on Thick Printed Copper technology which are presently considered as a leading concept for DEMO magnetic diagnostic. We are developing advanced control algorithms for real time plasma control which will be implemented and tested on COMPASS-U tokamak presently under construction in IPP CAS Prague. We deepen our expertise in theoretical understanding and modelling of interaction of externally generated magnetic fields with plasma which is essential for achieving, understanding and control of some of the advanced operational regimes of tokamak reactors.
Detailed topic of the PhD thesis of the perspective candidate will be elaborated from above pool of general directions based on his interests, skills and urgency of various research needs.
