The meeting is organized under the framework of the 2003 US-Japan Cooperation Programs in the area of Fusion Physics and the Kyoto University 21 COE Program. The first joint meeting was held at the Institute for Advanced Energy, Kyoto University, Japan on March 2-4, 2004. The upcoming meeting will cover new developments in the confinement of plasmas in helical systems, highlighting advanced helical systems exhibiting quasi-symmetry as well as heliotron/torsatron devices.  The workshop is expected to be a forum in which recent progress in experiments, theory, design, and engineering of helical plasma confinement systems will be presented and discussed in an informal atmosphere. Further information on the workshop is provided below as well as links to the left. General Information Dates Topics General Information The program consists of oral presentations in English. The weather in Auburn in November is generally mild and dry, with an average high of 19°C (66°F), average low of 7°C (45°F), and average daily chance of rain about 25%.
