Fusion: basic thermonuclear reactions, collisional and reactive cross-sections. Energy balance, ignition and Lawson criterion. Methods of confinement: confinement by a magnetic field, inertial systems.

2. Fusion systems: Z-pinch, Tokamak, Stellarator. Plasma heating: ohmic heating, high frequency heating, neutral-beam injection. Working modes of tokamak. Problems of stability.

3. Hot plasma diagnostics: probes, spectroscopy, corpuscular methods. Measurement of temperature and number density. Interaction of plasma with surfaces, processes in divertor region.

4. Status of important projects in the field: COMPASS-D, ITER, NIF. Actual problems.
