Dr Harald Kornmayer (FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM KARLSRUHE (FZK))01/03/2006, 14:00Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionApplication context and scientific goals ======================================== The field of gamma-ray observations in the energy range between 10 GeV and 10 TeV developed fast over the last decade. From the first observation of TeV gamma rays from the Crab nebula using the atmospheric Cerenkov imaging technique in 1989 [1] to the discovery of new gamma ray sources with the new...Go to contribution page

Dr Claudio Vuerli (INAF-SI)01/03/2006, 14:30Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contribution1. Application context and scientific goals An accurate measure of the whole sky emission in the frequencies of the microwave spectrum and in particular of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies can have crucial implications for the whole Astrophysical community as it permits to determine a number of fundamental quantities that characterize our Universe, its origin and...Go to contribution page

Dr Francisco Castejon (CIEMAT)01/03/2006, 15:00Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionThe future Magnetic confinement Fusion energy research will be mainly based upon large international facilities with the participation of a lot of scientist belonging to different institutes. For instance, the large device ITER (International Tokamak Experimental Reactor) that will be built in Cadarache (France) is participated by six partners: Europe, Japan, USA, Russia, China, and...Go to contribution page

Mr Jose Luis Vazquez-Poletti (Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain))01/03/2006, 15:30Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionPlasma heating in magnetic confinement fusion devices can be performed by launching a microwave beam with frequency in the range of the cyclotron frequency of either ions or electrons, or close to one of their harmonics. The Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) is characterized by the small size of the wavelength that allows one to study the wave properties using the geometrical...Go to contribution page

Mr Vladimir Voznesensky (Nuclear Fusion Inst., RRC "Kurchatov Inst.")01/03/2006, 16:30Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionComputational optimisations can be found in a wide area of natural, engineering and economical sciences. They may be carried out by different methods, that include classical gradient-based, genetic algorithms, etc. Stellarator facilities optimisation may be noted as an example of such task. Stellarators are the toroidal devices for magnetic confinement of plasma. In ...Go to contribution page

Dr Alberto Ribon (CERN)01/03/2006, 17:00Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionGeant4 is a general purpose toolkit for simulating the tracking and interaction of particles through matter. It is currently used in production in several particle physics experiments (BaBar, HARP, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb), and it has also applications in other areas, as space science, medical applications, and radiation studies. The complexity of the Geant4 code requires careful testing...Go to contribution page

Dr Simone Campana (CERN/IT/PSS)01/03/2006, 17:30Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionThe Large Hadron Collider at CERN will start data acquisition in 2007. The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment is preparing for the data handling and analysis via a series of Data Challenges and production exercises to validate its computing model and to provide useful samples of data for detector and physics studies. The last Data Challenge, begun in June 2004 and ended in early...Go to contribution page

Federica Fanzago (INFN-PADOVA)01/03/2006, 18:00Astroparticle physics - Fusion - High-Energy physicsOral contributionThe CMS experiment will produce a large amount of data (few PBytes each year) that will be distributed and stored in many computing centres spread in the countries participating to the CMS collaboration and made available for analysis to world-wide distributed physicists. CMS will use a distributed architecture based on grid infrastructure to analyze data stored at remote sites, to assure...Go to contribution page
