4TH WORKSHOP ON RADIO FREQUENCY DISCHARGES, FRANCE 2013
The RF-Workshop took place in La Presqu’ile de Giens on the French Riviera, near the city of Toulon. from May 29th-31st, 2013. The village-club “La badine” hosted the technical sessions with about 45 participants. Prof. Dr. Uwe Czarnetzki and Dr. Volker-Schulz von der Gathen represented the Research Unit "Physics of Microplasmas" FOR1123 and the Research Department "Plasmas with Complex Interactions".
The 5th RF-Workshop will take place in Dublin in 2015.
40TH EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY CONFERENCE ON PLASMA PHYSICS
The 40th EPS Conference on Plasma Physics takes place in Helsinki, Finland, from July 1st—5th 2013. This conference continues the series of European Physical Society (EPS) conferences on Plasma Physics, encompassing the fields of fusion research, magnetic confinement fusion, beam plasmas, laser-plasma interaction and inertial confinement fusion, dusty and low temperature plasmas, as well as space and astrophysical plasmas and basic plasmas. Ruhr-University Bochum is represented by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jan Benedikt, presenting the progress in the research of plasma-surface interaction of atmospheric-pressure plasmas (results of the Research Unit FOR 1123 “Physics of Microplasmas”), and PhD student Sascha Ridder, who is presenting work with the title “FlareLab: Short time-scale diagnostics for rapidly moving magnetic flux Tubes.“
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHENOMENA IN IONIZED GASES (ICPIG) 2013
The XXXI edition of the International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG) is held in Spain for the first time after the first ICPIG that took place back in 1953 in Oxford (UK) 60 years ago. It takes place in Granada from July 14th-19th, 2013. The ICPIG, a tradicional International conference with a remarkably long history, is held every two years and covers nearly all aspects of phenomena in ionizad gases from fundamentals to applications. The ICPIG topics are grouped into four major sections (A. Fundamentals; B. Modeling, Simulation and Diagnostics; C. Plasma Sources and Discharge Regimes; D. Applications) with each major section structured into several sub-topics.
This prestigious conference has been the forum for discussion of nearly all fields in plasma science since 1953, from the fundamentals of the interaction of charged particles with molecules to plasma chemistry, surface treatment and thin film technology, plasma medicine, light sources, plasma assisted combustión, plasma material processing, atmospheric and stellar plasmas, environmental protection and pollution control, plasma aerodynamics, and non-thermal plasmas in fusion devices.
Dr. Teresa de los Arcos, Dr. Carles Corbella Roca, Simon Große-Kreul, and Dr. Ante Hecimovic represent the SFB-TR87 and the Research Department "Plasmas with Complex Interactions".
ISPC 21 - 21ST INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PLASMA CHEMISTRY
The 21st International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry (ISPC 21) was held at the Cairns Convention Centre, adjacent to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, from August 4th - 9th, 2013. Prof. Dr. Achim von Keudelll, Prof. Dr. Jörg Winter, Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen and PhD student Hendrik Bahre participated in the conference.
