64TH GASEOUS ELECTRONICS CONFERENCE IN SALT LAKE CITY
The 64th Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) is, together with the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics, held November 4th-18th, 2011 in Salt Lake City, USA. This year, the GEC contains 37 invited talks, 209 oral talks and 175 poster presentations with topics ranging from fundamental studies of for example Electron and photon collisions with atoms and molecules, to plasma applications such as processing of materials or treatment of living tissues. The “Research Department Plasmas with Complex Interactions “of RUB is represented very well this year. Thirteen researches are visiting the conference with three invited talks (Jan Benedikt talks about the diagnostics of atmospheric pressure plasma jets, Julian Schulze discusses the electric asymmetry effect in capacitively coupled discharges, and Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki gives a talk at the Monday workshop "Control of Distribution Functions in Low Temperature Plasmas: Creating the Roadmap"), 9 oral talks and 10 posters. This counts for almost 5% of all contributions at the conference and illustrates the leading position of RUB in the low temperature plasma research!
