Plasma theory

Dominika Maslarova from Institute of Plasma Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences will visit between May 22nd — June 4th.

Nordic Fusion Seminar The Nordic Fusion Seminar takes place 12-13 June in Gothenburg. Istvan Pusztai will give a talk with the title "Runaway electron dynamics in shattered pellet mitigated ITER disruptions". Ida Ekmark will give a talk with the title "Multi-objective Bayesian optimization of tokamak disruptions using fluid and kinetic models".

Ida, Oskar and Tünde will go to Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching between June 19th — 23rd. They will participate in the REM workshop.

Oskar and Tünde will go to Cadarache between June 26th — July 1st. Tünde has been invited to give a talk on "Modelling runaway electrons" at the [12th ITER International School on the Impact and Consequences of Energetic Particles in Fusion Systems](https://iis2023.sciencesconf.org/). Oskar will participate as a student and present a poster.

Ida, István and Mufei will go to 49th European Conference on Plasma Physics between July 3rd — 7th. István has been invited to give a talk on "Runaway electron dynamics in ITER disruptions mitigated by shattered pellet injection". Ida will present "Bayesian optimization of disruption scenarios with fluid-kinetic models". Mufei will present "Kinetic modelling of autoresonant beat-wave excitation of plasma waves".

Tünde will go to Princeton between July 19th — 21st. She is invited to give a talk at the [Theory and Simulation of Disruptions Workshop](https://pppltsdw.princeton.edu/).

FLARE kick-off meeting We will have a lunch-to-lunch kick-off meeting for the Extreme Plasma Flares project August 28-29, with participants from IRF Uppsala and KTH.

Oskar will go to IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, London between October 16th — 21st. He plans to present a contribution with the title "Runaway electron dynamics in ITER disruptions with shattered pellet injection". Members of our group are also co-authors on contributions by M Lehnen "Physics basis and technology development for the ITER disruption mitigation system", by A Järvinen "Bayesian approach for uncertainty quantification and data-efficient optimization in fusion research" and E Nardon "Modelling of runaway electron dynamics in tokamak disruptions".
