WELTPP-13: 25.-26. November 2010
The 13th Workshop on the Exploration of Low Temperature Plasma Physics (WELTPP-13) will be held on the 25th and 26th of November 2010 at the old convent Rolduc in Kerkrade. This workshop is intended for active scientists working in the field of low temperature plasma physics. The workshop is sponsored by the Research Department "Plasmas with complex interactions" of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, the "Centre for Plasma Physics" of the Queen’s University Belfast and the Dutch 'onderzoekschool Centrum voor Plasmafysica en Stralingstechnologie' (CPS) of the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The aim of this workshop is to create a forum for young low temperature plasma scientists, that is graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, to meet, learn from each other, exchange knowledge, present results and establish new contacts. The emphasis is on the presentation of the work of the people new in this field. The meeting will be a two days session starting on Thursday before lunch and finishing on Friday afternoon.

Jun.-Prof. Julia Becker & Martino Olivo: IceCube meeting in Brussels
Jun.-Prof. Julia Becker and her PhD student Martino Olivo participated in the IceCube meeting in Brussels (Belgium) from September 20-23, 2010. At the IceCube meeting, the progress of the experiment setup, detector simulations, analyses, and the physics underlying the experiment over the last six months was discussed. The IceCube collaboration meets 2 times a year to give the members of the collaboration the opportunity to exchange ideas. In particular, Martino Olivo was able to give a talk on "Gamma ray burst analysis with IceCube-79 data". Here, Mr. Olivo presented the status of his analysis, which he plans to perform with the current configuration of the IceCube detector. Currently IceCube has 79 detector strings, in the final configuration, which will be completed in February 2011, IceCube will consist of 86 detector strings.
Furthermore, a collaboration with Prof. Francis Halzen could be intensified at the conference. A possible publication on the topic "Cosmic rays from massive binary systems" was discussed at the IceCube meeting.
Furthermore, the interests of the Research Department within the IceCube collaboration could be represented at the meetings of the Collaboration Board by Jun-Prof Julia Becker.
Jun-Prof Julia Becker also participated in the meetings of the Publication Committee of the IceCube Collaboration, where upcoming publications within the IceCube Collaboration were discussed.
