Plasma and Artificial Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

The physics of plasma is developed mostly in tokamaks. Thes device is rather complicated with many unknown variables to control in order that the fusion experiment really starts. Magnetic configuration, internal currents, geometric configuration. There are also various instabilities that should be controlled, Alfven waves, elms, runaway electrons, and disruptions. All these issues have been evaluated in various tokamaks and somehow controlled. It is possible to collect all this data and study the most efficient one using a multilayer perceptron, i.e. artificial intelligence.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plasma is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
