Master in M2 Grands Instruments - Plasmas Lasers Accelerateurs Tokamaks

Students of the M2 Grands Instruments Plasmas Lasers Accelerateurs Tokamaks programme get hands-on with the laser APOLLON and other facilities on the Saclay campus. This programme specialises in the physics and technology of large research installations, such as accelerators, lasers, and fusion machines. The curriculum is tailored to train scientists for research, engineering, and project management, with a focus on relativistic physics, plasma physics, and accelerator physics. Students choose from specialisations in accelerators, laser-plasma interaction, or fusion, with advanced courses in areas like laser technology, superconductivity, and tokamak physics. A five-month internship in a research organisation or company concludes the programme, often with partners such as the Synchrotron SOLEIL, the IRFU, or the IJClab.
