SCIENTIFIC GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

1.     A paper must present original and previously unreported work on any of the conference topics listed below. In particular, papers on subjects covered by the same authors at previous IAEA conferences must contain only results obtained since those already reported, and this should be indicated in the extended synopsis.

2.     The two page extended synopsis provides the basis on which the Programme Committee will make its decision on inclusion of the paper in the conference, and therefore it should be sufficiently detailed in describing the purpose of the work and the results obtained.

3.     Detailed work specific to diagnostics physics should not be submitted to this conference.

4.     General engineering work not specific to fusion should not be submitted to this conference.

5.     Topical Areas:

• OV Overview
• EX Magnetic Confinement Experiments
  • C: Confinement
  • S: Stability
  • W: Wave - plasma interactions - current drive, heating, energetic particles
  • D: Plasma - material interactions - divertors, limiters, SOL
• TH Magnetic Confinement Theory and Modelling
  • C: Confinement
  • S: Stability
  • W: Wave - plasma interactions - current drive, heating, energetic particles
  • D: Plasma - material interactions - divertors, limiters, SOL
• CT ITER Co-ordinated Technical Activities
• IF Inertial Fusion Experiments and Theory
• IC Innovative Confinement Concepts
• FT Fusion Technology and Power Plant Design
• SE Safety, Environmental and Economic Aspects of Fusion

        In the case of EX and TH, include a single main subtopic for the paper.

6.     Overview papers will be considered in the following categories:

• An overview of a number of presentations from a major facility;
• An overview of studies in a topical area.

7.     There is sometimes ambiguity as to whether a paper which includes discussion of a new fusion concept should be included under EX, TH, or IC. If the purpose of the paper is primarily to expose a new fusion concept, it should be identified as IC even if a moderate amount of theory and/or data are included. If a paper primarily presents new theory, it should be identified as TH. If it primarily presents new experimental results, it should be identified as EX.
