DESCRIPTION:Dr.  Renato Gatto\, Dept. of Astronautical\, Electrical and E
 nergy Engineering\, Sapienza University of Rome\, I\nSince the late '80 a 
 considerable amount of work has been done on the implication of tilting in
  the azimuthal direction the toroidal field coil of a tokamak. Tilted coil
  with different properties have been proposed\, and even small prototype t
 okamaks have been built.\nThe two immediate advantages introduced by tilte
 d coils are (i) a drastic reduction of some components of the electromagne
 tic forces in certain areas\, and (ii) the generation of poloidal field\, 
 in addition to toroidal field. The former advantage allows for a partial r
 elaxation of the reinforcing structural material required in the machine d
 esign\, while the poloidal flux could be used alone or in conjunction with
  a conventional central solenoid to simplify the design and/or achieve bet
 ter performances.\nDespite the work done\, it is however not yet clear whe
 ther ``a tilted tokamak'' provides enough benefits to stimulate further st
 udies and eventually its realization on real scale. In this talk\, I will 
 review some of the work done so far\, and present preliminary results of m
 y research effort on the topic.
