2nd Internal Workshop of FOR 1123
The aim of the workshop is to take stock of the FOR 1123 "Physics of Microplasmas" after almost one year. The primary questions are: Where do we stand in the individual projects? Where do we encounter unexpected difficulties or new things? What about (joint) publications? How can we improve internal scientific cooperation? The workshop has been held at the Center for IT Security (ZITS) on December 14-15, 2009.
Opening event Applied Competence Cluster
The ACC Plasma Technology focuses on the evaluation and transfer of promising technologies and methods in the field of plasma technology to industrially relevant applications. The know-how is developed in nine professorships and their working groups in the Center of Plasma Science and Technology and its spin-off PAC.
The opening event of the ACC Plasma Technology has been held together with the ACC Terahertz on February 22, 2010, starting at 9:00 a.m. in ICN 03/95 at the RUB.
FOR 1123: International Workshop "Diagnostics of Microplasmas"
21.-23. März 2010, RUB Veranstaltungszentrum, Saal 3
Microplasmas are receiving much attention recently. The basic processes controlling these plasmas are not yet fully understood. One of the reasons is a lack of diagnostics - largely due to the inherent difficulties dealing with small dimensions and rapid phenomena.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in diagnostics and diagnostic-near modeling of small scale atmospheric pressure microplasmas to discuss advances in this area. The number of participants is limited to about 60. Participation in this workshop is by invitation only.
The program calls for invited talks and limited oral and poster presentations. The schedule will provide ample opportunity for discussions in order to allow for a genuine workshop atmosphere.
The workshop is organized by the Research Unit Physics of Microplasmas FOR 1123 of the German Science Foundation (DFG) within the Research Department “Plasmas with Complex Interactions” of Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
Invited lecturers:
- Ronny Brandenburg, Germany
- Christoph Hollenstein, Switzerland
- Ömer Ilday, Turkey
- Gerrit Kroesen, The Netherlands
- Dragana Maric, Serbia
- Kari Niemi, United Kingdom
- Yi-Kang Pu, China
- Vincent Puech, France
- Claudia Lazzaroni, France
- Yukinori Sakiyama, USA

Plasma Doctoral Workshop
The Research Department "Plasmas with Complex Interactions" organizes in cooperation with the research group FOR 1123 "Microplasmas" and the SFB-TR 87 a workshop for PhD students. This workshop has been held on August 9 and 10, 2010 in Rolduc, Kerkrade (Netherlands).
Starting on Monday morning, the PhD students will present and discuss their current research results individually or in groups of two.
In addition to the Bochum students, Pascal Chabert and Claudia Lazzaroni (both LPP, France) as well as doctoral students from Paderborn and RWTH Aachen will also participate.
Computational Plasma Physics
The PostGraduate School "Computational Plasma Physics" of FOR1048 and the Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions has been held from September 6 to 9, 2010 at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
The number of participants is limited to 30.
