The journal Sciences inFusion was created in 2018 under the impetus of the IRFM and the Fusion by Magnetic Confinement-ITER Research Federation (FR-FCM), which brings together a number of higher education establishments. Its objective is to provide information to a wide audience on scientific advances in the field of Fusion, while highlighting synergies with other areas such as astrophysics.
Sciences in Fusion is published annually, with 6 to 8 scientific articles on a specific theme in each issue. It is published in French only.
Issue 5, ‘Waves’, is dedicated to electromagnetic waves and their use in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas.

Electromagnetic waves: tools for fusion plasmas
Wave propagation and absorption
Plasma response to waves
Antenna and coupling of waves to plasma
Electronic tubes: from galena to fusion
