?????????(?????)?????????(JIFTJoint Institute
for Fusion Theory)?????????????

• The purpose of the JIFT is to facilitate exchange
  of ideas and collaborative research between
  American and Japanese scientists engaged in
  theoretical fusion research. The JIFT
  incorporates a U.S. component, hosted by the
  Institute for Fusion Studies (IFS), University of
  Texas, and a Japanese component, hosted by the
  International Centre for Fusion Theory (ICFT),
  Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP), Nagoya
  University.
• These two components comprise the core of the
  JIFT. Other institutions and individuals engaged
  in theoretical fusion research participate in
  JIFT activities as appropriate.

ANNEX II (May 1, 1981 )

• ANNEX TO
• AGREEMENT ON ACADEMIC EXCHANGE AND COLLABORATION
  BETWEEN
• NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR FUSION SCIENCE, JAPAN
• AND
• INSTITUTE FOR FUSION STUDIES
• THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN, USA
• The purpose of the JIFT is to facilitate exchange
  of ideas and collaborative research between
  Japanese and U.S. scientists engaged in
  theoretical fusion research, which was originally
  established in 1981 through an Annex to the
  Official Record of Agreement between the Japan
  Ministry of Education and the U.S. Department of
  Energy. The JIFT incorporates a Japanese
  component, hosted by the National Institute for
  Fusion Science (NIFS), and a U.S. component,
  hosted by the Institute for Fusion Studies (IFS)
  of the University of Texas at Austin. These two
  components comprise the core of the JIFT. Other
  Japanese and U.S. institutions and individual
  scientists engaged in theoretical fusion research
  also participate in JIFT activities as
  appropriate.

• to advance the theoretical understanding of
  plasmas (stability, equilibrium, heating, and
  transport in magnetic fusion systems),
• to develop fundamental theoretical and
  computational tools and concepts for
  understanding nonlinear plasma phenomena.

• Topics of the workshops
• (1) MHD equilibrium, stability, sawteeth
  oscillations, and disruptions (2) High-beta
  plasmas and beta limits (3) Highly energetic
  particles and their effects on stability (4)
  Turbulent transport, transport barriers, and
  confinement (5) Theory and new concepts for
  helical confinement configurations (6) Bootstrap
  current (7) Edge physics (8) Dense plasmas (9)

Comments by J. W. Van Dam

• Workshop
• Inequality in number of participants ? due to
  tight budget in US side
• Remote participants via international
  telecommunication system
• Joint sponsorship with other meeting ? JIFT
  workshop as a satellite meeting of a big
  conference such as ICPP
• Involution of young scientist in organizing
  workshop
• Personal exchange
• Participation of an advanced graduate student
• Periods of visiting professor ? more than 3
  months in Japan, less than 3 months in US
• Joint computational projects
• Data link between US (LLNL) and Japan
  (JAERI,NIFS) was stopped around 1999(?) ? useful
  and needful
• Shift to another purpose ? support JIFT workshop
  and exchange visit and enlarge JEARI (JAEA)
  participation
