INVITATION
You are cordially invited to attend the 15th International Workshop on Plasma Edge
Theory in Fusion Devices to be held in Nara, Japan, from 9 (Wednesday) to 11(Friday) September, 2015.
SUBJECT MATTERThe 15th International Workshop on Plasma Edge Theory in Fusion Devices isorganised by Local Organising Committee under the auspices of Japan
Atomic Energy Agency and National Institute for Fusion Science, Japan. Like
the fourteen preceding workshops, this workshop addresses plasma theoryof the edge region in magnetic confinement fusion devices. It will reflect thepresent status of the theory for the boundary layer of fusion plasmas. Theemphasis will be on the development of theory and of appropriate numericalmethods, with a secondary interest in self-consistent modelling ofexperimental data (including also empirical elements).
The following topics are intended to be covered by invited and contributed
lectures:
1. BASIC EDGE PLASMA THEORY
1.1 Magnetic boundary structure including magnetic stochasticity
1.2 Sheath effects
1.3 Edge transport parallel and perpendicular to magnetic field
1.4 Electric field effects
1.5 Instabilities and turbulence
1.6 Neutrals and multi-ion theories, radiation
1.7 Plasma detachment including cold and dense buffer plasmas
1.8 New edge-relevant numerical and computational methods
2. MODELS OF SPECIAL PHENOMENA AND EDGE CONTROL
2.1 Hot spots, radiative cooling
2.2 L-H transition, blobs, ELMs (incl. control), and pedestal structure
2.3 Flow patterns, momentum transport, and impurity retention
2.4 Biasing and shaping of targets
2.5 Dusty effects3. INTEGRATED EDGE PLASMA MODELLING
3.1 Kinetic and Monte Carlo codes
3.2 Multi-fluid codes
3.3 Effects of plasma edge/core coupling
3.4 Validation of edge plasma theories

CONFERENCE STYLE
The workshop will consist of invited lectures, oral presentations and poster
contributions. Contributed papers will be mainly presented as posters. It is
recommended that orally presented papers are also accompanied by aposter.

Please remember to give the name of the participant and PET15, the name of
the workshop, as the reason for payment. The payment for the registration
fee must be free of bank charges to the receiver.
If a registration is cancelled by the 29 June 2015 a full fee payed will bereturned. In case of later cancellation there will be no reimbursement.
A participant, however, can transfer his registration to a colleague from thesame organisation and will be charged no extra fee for that.
PROCEEDINGSThe Book of Abstracts will be handed to the participants on the first day ofthe workshop. The invited and accepted contributed papers will be includedin the proceedings of the workshop and published in the journal"Contributions to Plasma Physics". The expected length of contributions is 8–
10 pages for invited and 5–6 pages in case of regular papers. The papers willgo through the usual refereeing process. Detailed instructions for thepreparation of the manuscripts and posters will be mailed together with theacceptance letter and provided on the workshop web site.
WORKSHOP LOCATION
