GEC 2014 IN RALEIGH, USA
The 67th GEC will be hosted by North Carolina State University from November 3rd - November 7th, 2014 in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. PhD students Katja Rügner and Daniel Schröder (Research Unit FOR 1123 "Physics of Microplasmas", Experimentalphysics II, RUB) participated.
NCSU is one of the leading educational and research universities in the United States, and home to numerous groups focused on plasma science and plasma application. This presence is further strengthened by nearby Duke University and the University of North Carolina; the three universities forming the science and technology hub known as the Research Triangle, home to industry giants and high tech start-ups, many of which were launched out of NCSU.
COSI2ME 2014 - EXCHANGE WITH GREMI CONTINUES
The exchange with GREMI continues: "CoSi2Me", the DAAD PPP France Procope application, was approved for the years 2015 and 2016 (8.300 Euro travel funds), like this the close cooperation between Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen (RUB) and Dr. Remi Dussart (GREMI, Orléans) can be continued. Congratulations!
PATRICK BÖHM AN DER OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, COLUMBUS, OHIO, USA
Patrick Böhm visited the non-equlibrium thermodynamics laboratory (NET-Lab) research group at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the Ohio State University (OSU) from August 8th to November 11th 2014. The group is supervised by Prof. Igor Adamovich and Prof. Walter
Lempert. A four wave mixing technique to measure electric fields in hydrogen similar to the one applied in project A3 of FOR1123 was applied. During this stay a new fast ionization wave discharge setup was developed in which electric field measurements were conducted. This measurements had
sub-nanosecond time resolution due to the use of a picosecond pulsed pump-laser. Even polarization sensitive measurements were possible enabling further investigation of the behavior of the wave. The results were presented on the 67th annual Gaseous Electronics Conference and will also be
presented at the AIAA meeting in Kissimmee, Florida in January 2015, and at the DPG Spring Meeting in Bochum, Germany in April 2015.
