Dr. Dominik Bomans "Plasmas in and around Galaxies".
In the lecture series "All Plasma" we went out into space again. Dr. Domink Bomans explained vividly how plasmas form in and around galaxies and what we can learn from this about the formation and development of our universe.

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.

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.

Judith Golda and Julian Held "Plasmas to touch"
As part of the lecture series "Everything Plasma", Judith Golda and Julian Held gave a lecture on the topic "Plasmas to touch".
While in the previous lecture the distance of the discussed plasmas (stars, interstellar medium) was very large, the two speakers showed where we have points of contact with plasmas in everyday life. The participants of the lecture could look at plasmas, touch them and learn more about the tehnical background.

DR. GIANFRANCO BRUNETTI
Dr. Gianfranco Brunetti is again a guest at our chair at the Institute of Theoretical Physics IV / Chair of Space and Astrophysics (Prof. Dr. Reinhard Schlickeiser). The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has awarded him a research prize, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award. It comes from the Instituto Nazionale die Astrofisica (INAF) in Bologna, Italy. Another stay next year is planned.
Dr. Brunetti will study the acceleration of charged particles in galaxies and galaxy clusters to predict their observational radiation signatures from radio wave to gamma-ray regions.
