Workshop: Higgs Centre-UKAEA Plasma Physics Workshop - Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

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.

Further information is available on the Indico pages.

Please note, the colloquium talk by Fulvio Militello needs to be accessed via a different Zoom link.
