The GOLEM tokamak in Prague is organising GOMTRAIC, the GOlem reMote TRAIning Course. In three months, the participants will learn how to operate and diagnose this small tokamak machine without leaving their nests. All they need is a recommendation message from their tutor and the internet Access

Deadline for applications - end of February 2012.

List of tasks:

• Breakdown studies ...
• Comparison of tokamak discharges in H and He working gas.
• Determination of plasma resistance and electron temperature, variation with different discharge regimes
• First wall conditioning. Baking of the vessel and glow discharge influence on plasma performance.
• Generation of runaway electrons in different discharge regimes by means of hard X ray radiation.
• Plasma MHD Activity Observations via Magnetic Diagnostics
• Plasma position studies
• Radial profile of the floating potential and plasma density (determination of radial electric field and poloidal plasma velocity)
• Role of vertical magnetic field on plasma performance.
• Spectroscopy studies
• Other tasks
