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.“
