This publication presents results achieved within an IAEA coordinated research project on dense magnetized plasmas (DMPs) with respect to the needs of plasma research in developed and developing IAEA Member States, performed under comprehensive international collaboration. Of specific interest is the improvement of experimental set-ups for DMPs, including new ideas on drivers, chambers and targets, interface issues and plasma–wall interactions. Better understanding of discharge physics and control, improved theory and numerical modelling using various codes are reported. Important issues are diagnostics development, material testing and development, and material post-irradiation diagnostics and analysis. The publication illustrates the speed of progress in DMP applications facilitated by the sharing of knowledge, staffing and costs, the promotion of technology transfer among Member States and issues relating to knowledge preservation. It also reports the main conclusions and recommendations from the experts’ meeting and will serve as a useful resource to fusion scientists, fusion engineers, plasma physicists and material science physicists.
