Dr. Maik Fröhlich zu Gast beim TET
From August 8 to 9, Dr. Maik Fröhlich, head of the Plasma Surface Technology Department at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology e.V. (INP Greifswald), was a guest at the Chair of Theoretical Electrical Engineering at the Ruhr University Bochum as part of the IGK's Junior-Senior Program. For the purpose of scientific exchange, lectures were given and discussions were held. According to those involved, the visit and the associated discussions proved very fruitful.

Dr. Philip von Doetinchem
Dr. Philip von Doetinchem from the University of Hawaii at Manoa is a guest of Prof. Julia Tjus (TP4, Plasma Astroparticle Physics) and will give a talk on "Cosmic-ray antideuteron searches" on 7/13/2016 at 10:00 am in NB 7/67.
Abstract: Recent years have seen increased theoretical and experimental efforts towards the first-ever detection of cosmic-ray antideuterons, in particular as an indirect signature of dark matter annihilation or decay. In contrast to indirect dark matter searches using positrons, antiprotons, or gamma-rays, which suffer from relatively high and uncertain astrophysical backgrounds, searches with antideuterons benefit from very suppressed conventional backgrounds, offering a potential breakthrough in unexplored phase space for dark matter. The presentation will review dark matter theories that can be probed with antideuterons, the challenges for the interpretations of antideuteron signals, and the experimental efforts toward cosmic antideuteron detection.

PETER H. YOON
From May 02-31, 2016, Peter H. Yoon from the University of Maryland will be visiting the Chair of Theoretical Physics IV. Peter H. Yoon works at the Institute for Physical Science and Technology - USA and has received a "VIP Grant of the Reseach School PLUS", in the framework of which he will visit RUB again.

ZOLTÁN DONKÓ & PETER HARTMANN
On Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at 10:15 am in room 04/653, Zoltán Donkó and Peter Hartmann from Budapest will each give a talk on their research.
Zoltán Donkó: "Measurements of electron transport and (DC and RF) breakdown in different gases."
Peter Hartmann: "Rotodust (Emulating extreme magnetic fields with rotating dusty plasmas)."
The visit of Zoltán and Peter runs through the "Junior - Senior Program". Both are visiting TET from 11-15.4. Jan Trieschmann and Sebastian Wilczek were already in Budapest last year in August at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics to discuss joint research work. The goal is another joint publication on hysteresis effects and confinement quality of high energy electron beams in capacitive radio frequency discharges.
