Three PhD student from experimental physics II department join Gordon Research Conference

This years Gordon Research Conference on "Fundamental Insights into Plasma Processing" was held at the Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island from the 5th to the 10th of August. The additional Gordon Research Seminar for PhD students, Post-Docs and young scientists started at the 4th of August. The PhD students Sebastian Dzikowski, Katharina Grosse, and Theresa Urbanietz from experimental physics II, RUB, working in the SFB-1316 participated in both the seminar and the conference with poster presentations. Additionally, Theresa Urbanietz was selected to give a students talk at the Gordon Research Seminar. During the Gordon Research Conference, Professor Uwe Czarnetzki from the experimental physics V department gave a talk about challenges in diagnostics with the title "Plasma Diagnostics: What Can We Know? What Ought We Do? For What May We Hope?".

The atmosphere of this conference was very friendly and the discussions between students, post-docs and professors during the poster sessions were both fruitful and motivating. The students had the opportunity during each lunch to sit and eat with different experts (paper editors, scientists in academia and industry...) to discuss their career in a casual environment. The overall programm of the Gordon Research Seminar and the Gordon Research Conference was perfectly put together and the chances for students to discuss their work with advanced researchers in their field created a very unique atmosphere for which the Gordon Research Conferences are famous.

13th Frontiers in Low-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics & 1st Frontiers in Low-Temperature Plasma

The 13th FLTPD workshop on 12th-15th May 2019 is an European event which brings together scientists working on low-temperature plasmas to present their recent results, focusing on original diagnostic techniques. The workshop will take place in the physics center of the German Physical Society in Bad Honnef and is limited to approximately 100 participants from academic, research and industrial institutions.

The program consists of expert presentations from around 10 invited speakers, topical talks selected by the International Scientific Committee from submitted abstracts, and poster contributions. As a rule, all participants will stay at the conference site and are expected to present a contribution.

It is an important and fruitful opportunity for young plasma scientists to share and discuss the latest developments in plasma diagnostics with the experts in the field.

The Conference is organized by Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki from the RUB and other European partners.

Three groups from Bochum also joined the traditional meeting with 1 poster presentation and 6 oral contributions from the experimental physics II group. The group of Prof. Czarnetzki presented 3 oral presentations and one poster presentation. Further, from the field of theoretical electrical engineering one oral and one poster presentation was contributed.

Beside the scientific program, social events like an EinsteinSlam or an award ceremony with interludes of musical accompanists.

Plasma processing of materials was the main topic of the meeting. These participants contributed with oral and poster presentations to disseminate the activities related to the collaborative research centre SFB-TR 87.

 

ExB Plasmas for Space and Industrial Applications 2017

From June 21st until 23rd, 2017 the annual meeting EXB Plasmas for Space and Industrial Applications took place in Touluse, France. The focus was on the transport of charged particles within magnetic fields. The knowledge, optics, diagnostics, theory, and simulations were discussed within the presentations.

Prof. Achim von Keudell from the Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions joined this event of about 40 scientists.

HIPIMS conference in Braunschweig 2017

On June 13th and 14th, 2017, the annual HIPIMS conference took place in Braunschweig. Since eight years, the two-day conference offers scientists as well as industrial operators to discuss physcial questions of pulsed high power impulse magnetron discharges. The place of conference changes every year between the Sheffield Hallam University and the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films.

Julian Held, Vincent Layes, Wolfgang Breilmann from the RUB were joining this conferene contributing one oral presentation and one poster.

IWM 2017

The IWM 2017 was in the Riessersee Hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen from June 6-9, 2017. The workshop with familiar atmosphere was a great success for participants as well as for the organization team. Great discussion around the individual sessions and contributions made the four days workshop special. Also, the social program with a hiking tour and a visit of castel Linderhof contributed to the overall success of the workshop.

Within the workshop was the final symposium of the Marie Curie - Initial Training Network - Reactive Atmospheric Plasma Processing (www.rapid-itn.eu).

The next IWM 10 will take place in Kyoto from May 21st until May 24th, 2019.

 

ECPD EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS

The 2nd European conference on plasma diagnostics was located this year in Bordeaux. The conference is an biennial event. Scientists from low temperature and industrial plasmas, inertial fusion, magnetic confinement fusion, beam plasmas,  as well as astrophysical scientists 

It took place from April 18th until 21th, 2017. Prof. von Keudell gave an invited overview lecture with the title "Physics and Diagnostics of Non-equilibrium Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas".

Radiohalos of spiral galaxies - the impact of CHANG-ES in Bochum

Between June 6th and 10 th, 2017 the meeting concerning Radiohalos of spiral galaxies - the impact of CHANG-ES takes place in Bochum. The research group of Prof. Dettmar is coordinating group. The meeting is distributed over four days, where scientists from the CHANG-ES group as well as guests will come together. 

The Galaxy survey “Continuum HAlos in Nearby Galaxies – an Evla Survey (CHANG-ES)“ was observed at the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA radio telescope), New Mexico, USA. It contains a galaxy sample of significant size over a variety of angular spatial scales, which will help to address fundamental questions regarding radio halos and magnetic fields in spiral galaxies. The galaxies were observed at the two low frequencies, 1.5 GHz (20 cm wavelength) and 6 GHz (6 cm wavelength). CHANG-ES can also exploit the wide bandwidths that are provided by the EVLA. These wide bandwidths permit enormous improvements in continuum sensitivity. In addition, the wide bands provide a wealth of spectral information that will be unique to this survey. Moreover, CHANG-ES is the first survey of edge-on galaxies for which all polarization products will be obtained, providing important information on halo magnetic fields (Irwin et al. 2012).
