ITC19SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPER

19th International Toki Conference (ITC19) on

Advanced Physics in Plasma and Fusion ResearchDecember 8 - 11, 2009
Ceratopia Toki, Toki-City, Gifu, JapanSCOPE
The 19th international Toki conference (ITC19), hosted by National Institute for Fusion
Science, brings together scientists working in basic plasmas and frontiers of nuclear fusion.
The conference discusses the recent progress and achievement in a wide range of plasma
physics studies originating from universities to mission-oriented institutes. The central
scope of the conference is to obtain a deeper understanding of the fundamental plasma
processes underlying such a large variety of the phenomena associated with plasmas, andultimately to extracte universal or elemental physical laws from them. The systematizationof such scientific activities and achievements should contribute to finding the directions in
the new era of nuclear fusion facing the realization of a burning plasma in ITER and other
innovative technologies.

ITC19ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Authors are requested to submit one-page abstracts (A4 format) on-line by August 31,
2009 through the conference web-site (http://peras.nifs.ac.jp/itc19/center). The format ofone-page abstract is available on the web-site. Submitted papers should be an originalwork associated with the conference topics, which has not been previously published.
Abstracts should be sufficiently detailed in describing the aim of the work and the obtainedresults. The program committee will select the papers on the basis of the submittedabstracts. Authors will be notified on acceptance of abstracts and assignment of theirpapers into the sessions by September 30, 2009. A booklet of the abstracts will bedistributed to participants at the Conference. The abstracts will be available on theConference web-site as well.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS and PAPER SUBMISSION
All manuscripts of the proceedings can be submitted through the web-site of ITC19 before
the first day of the conference.
The proceedings will be automatically submitted toPlasma Fusion Research (PFR), which is an electronic journal published by the Japan
Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion (http://www.jspf.or.jp/PFR/). The maximum
length of the manuscript should be 8 pages for plenary, 6 pages for invited talks, and 4
pages for contributed papers in the PRF format. The books of the accepted proceedings
will be distributed to all participants after all peer review processes are completed.
Submission fee for this special issue will not be included in the registration fee.
REGISTRATION FEE
The registration fee is 20,000 yen. Additional banquet ticket for an accompanied person is
5,000 yen. The fee for students is 15,000 yen, also including the banquet 5, 000 yen. All
attendees are requested to register through the conference web-site before 31st October
2009. On-line payment is recommended with credit card on the conference web-site.
VISAS
In case you need a visa to enter Japan, the conference secretaries will provide an official
letter to obtain the entry visa.
EXCURSION
Two excursion plans are available in the afternoon on 10th December (Thu). One is NIFS
tour, which bring you to see the major NIFS facilities, e.g., Large Helical Device, andvirtual reality system (CompleXcope and Design Aid Tool for Fusion Reactor). The other isa bus tour to the Tokugawa art museum and Tokugawa-en in Nagoya city. Tokugawa isthe family name of ‘Shogun’, who governed Japan in the edo era (1603-1867).
