The symposium is preceded by the
EU Summer School on Low Pressure and Thermal Plasmas
July, 22 - 25, in Bad Honnef located nearby
.
Chairman: Prof. Dr. J. Winter, Bochum
Co-Chairmen: Prof. Dr. M.C.M. van de Sanden, Eindhoven
Prof. Dr. J. Heberlein, Minnesota
Organization: Dr. M. Böke / P. Burkhardt
The aim of the course is to acquaint the participants with the up-to-date status of the field. The basic principles of plasma physics will be summarized at the beginning of the course. The course will offer a broadening of knowledge in plasma physics, and in the interaction of plasmas with surfaces including a description of advanced diagnostics. All lectures and discussions will be held in English.
The level of the course is aimed at:
Ph.D. students in first year
Diploma and M.-Sc. students in last year
Well-known experts in the field will present lectures in the following areas:
- fundamentals of plasma physics
- plasma sources
- thermal and low pressure plasmas
- atomic processes
- electron kinetics
- diagnostics and plasma spectroscopy
- modeling
- plasma-surface interactions
The school will consists of two separate parts which run most of the time in parallel, an introduction into the physics of low pressure plasmas and an introduction into the physics of high pressure and thermal plasmas. The initial four lectures will be common lectures introducing basic plasma physics and experimental methods to generate low pressure and thermal plasmas. The school ends again with a common lecture on atmospheric pressure glow discharges and microplasmas. The low pressure part of the school is organized by J. Winter / M. Böke (RUB) and the thermal plasma school is organized by J. Heberlein (Univ. Minnesota).
Attendance is limited to about 80 participants.
For registration you'll have to go through the general >login< procedure. Then you will soon be able to register for the summer school.
This registration requires a credit card payment.
The fee (280 Euro) covers accommodation (double occupancy!) and full board at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef during the respective activity and a copy of the lecture notes.
Deadline for registration is June 15, 2009.
