Nuclear Fusion (NF)

• • •  is an international journal published monthly by the IAEA. 

NF 

• • • covers work relevant to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Such work comprises the production, heating and confinement of high temperature plasmas, as well as the physical properties of such plasmas and the experimental or theoretical methods of exploring or explaining them. 

NF

• • •  also publishes work on fusion reactor physics, reactor concepts and closely related technology."

The CFADC Bibliography

• • • "Through a network of expert consultants the CFADC [Controlled Fusion Atomic Data Center] maintains a categorized bibliography of atomic and molecular collision references relevant to fusion energy research and development. Since the data center's inception in 1958, over 100 journals have been regularly searched and over 60,000 individual entries have been accumulated. Presently, the bibliography may be queried on-line regarding the entries since 1978 (approximately 30,000). The archival entries dating from c.1950 to 1977 will be added in the near future."

Aladdin Database Server 
http://www-amdis.iaea.org/

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announces the new Aladdin Database Server, a numerical database for fusion energy research and other plasma science and technology applications. The Aladdin Database Server contains four databases: Collisional Database, H Neutral Beam Database, Particle-Surface Interactions, and Elementary Processes in H-He Plasmas.

A Glossary is provided to elucidate symbols used in Aladdin. Due to the technical content of these databases, this site is specifically for researchers in fusion energy or plasma science. [JJS]
