Innovative Confinement Concepts Workshop-2002: Conference report

The Innovative Confinement Concepts Workshop, ICC2002, provided a forum for presentations and exchange of ideas on the science and status of innovative concepts in the U.S. Fusion Energy Program. The workshop, held at the University of Maryland on January 22–24, 2002, included oral presentations addressing the important science and status of the concepts, posters focussed on details of the work, a skunkworks for novel ideas, and breakout sessions preparing for the July 2002 fusion energy Snowmass meeting. This report summarizes the oral presentations. A web site (https://wormhole.ucllnl.org/ICC2002/) has been established with the abstracts and many of the presentations, both oral and poster, from the workshop.
