MERCATOR FELLOW
Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia at EP V lab
Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia form the LPP lab at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris joined the CRC 1316 as new Mercator Fellow. She visits the group of Prof. Czarnetzki from November 11th until November 29th, 2019.
She is an expert in low temperature plasma, pulsed nanosecond discharges, kinetics of chemically active nonequilibrium media, energy distribution in the discharge, excitation of internal degrees of freedom, combustion initiation and support by nonequilibrium plasma.
LOFAR Magnetism Key Science Projects (MKSP) Annual Meeting and Busy Days in Bochum 2019
The Astronomical Institute organized the annual LOFAR Magnetism Key Science Project (MKSP) meeting from September 27 until September 29, 2019 at the Ruhr-University in Bochum. The meeting was supported by the Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions. The main objectives of this annual meeting were to share the latest scientific results obtained by the MKSP members using LOFAR, to discuss current and future projects and to present software and technical developments.
The head of the local organizing comittee was Noelia Herrera-Ruiz. Furthermore, Prof. Dettmar worked within the scientific organizing comittee.
GUESTS AT EP2
Two students visits EP2 within the JSPS Core-to-Core Program
After their participation in the International School on Low-Temperature Plasma Physics, the PhD students Fatima Jenina Arellano and Abdulrahman H. Basher visited the research group of Prof. von Keudell. Both are working on DFT simulations in the group of Prof. Hamaguchi from Osaka university, Japan. Within the framework of the JSPS Core-to-Core program, they used the chance to visit the EP2 group.
Guest at Experimental Physics II
Sylvain Iséni stays two weeks for electric field measurements on micro cavity plasma arrays
Dr. Sylvain Iséni stayed from October 21st until October 31st, 2019, in the group of Prof. Achim von Keudell. His visit is part of the collaboration with his home institute, GREMI, espacially, Prof. Remi Dussart. Particularly, the focus of the recent visit is are eletric field measurements by optical emission spectroscopy in the project A6 (Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen, Sebastian Dzikowski) of the CRC1316. In the project micro cavity arrays are investigated.
Furthermore, Dr. Iséni used the chance to participate in the online seminar and had a talk with the title "Temperate micro-plasmas for environmental purposes: sources, properties, cross-diagnostics & challenges".
