An important application of plasma physics is the development of fusion energy, fusion energy provided by magnetic-confinement tokamak reactors holds great promise: sustainability and clean energy. Tokamak is a device that uses strong magnetic fields to confine high-temperature plasmas, with the aim of creating the conditions for extracting energy from the fusion reactions that take place in the plasma. However, thermal and magnetic energy in the tokamak can drive plasma instabilities leading to disruptions, which is a core science and engineering challenge for nuclear fusion to actually generate electricity. Disruption abruptly disrupts the magnetic confinement of the plasma, terminating the fusion reaction and rapidly depositing plasma energy onto the confining vessel. The resulting thermal and electromagnetic force loads can cause irreparable damage to critical device components. Deeply revealing the physical mechanism of tokamak plasma disruption is of great significance for predicting and preventing such disruption. ICPMS-FPP'24 aims to bring together global experts, scholars, and industry elites to build a diversified, open, and innovative sharing platform for in-depth discussions on the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of fusion and plasma science and technology, and to promote academic exchanges, technological innovations, industrial development, and international cooperation in this field.
