19TH INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL FOR PLASMA PHYSICS
For the 19th time, the Research Department "Plasmas with Complex Interactions" of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, in cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center TR 87 and international partners, offers the summer school "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications". From 04 to 11 October 2014, 100 participants from all over Europe will meet 21 lecturers from 15 nations.
"The aim of the summer school is to bring students together with internationally recognized experts and provide them with a coherent education in plasma physics," explains Prof. Dr. Achim von Keudell, spokesman of the Research Department at RUB.
What are typical parameters for low-temperature plasmas? What are the techniques for pre-treatment and coating of surfaces with atmospheric pressure plasmas? What plasma spectroscopic methods are available? The participants of the summer school will find answers to these and many other questions. The program is peppered with lectures by leading plasma experts. Among others, Anthony Murphy from Lindfield Australia and Peter Bruggeman from the USA will participate.
The summer school is a permanent fixture in the plasma field and is already fully booked. Those who still want to attend now can take a place on the waiting list. As always, there will be a social program for networking in addition to the scientific discussions. Master students in their final year as well as PhD students are welcome. The summer school has been held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef.

14TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HIGH PRESSURE LOW TEMPERATURE PLASMA CHEMISTRY (HAKONE XIV)
The 14th International Symposium on High Pressure Low Temperature Plasma Chemistry (HAKONE XIV), was held in Zinnowitz/Germany (island Usedom) from September 21 to 26, 2014.
HAKONE XIV was jointly organized by the Institute of Physics (IfP) at the University of Greifswald and the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald).
HAKONE is a biennial symposium bringing together scientists and engineers working on subjects in the basic research and plasma processing of high pressure (typically 1 bar)
and low temperature plasma chemistry.
Dr. Marc Böke, Dr. Simon Hübner, Katja Rügner, Stefan Spiekermeier and Prof. Jörg Winter participated with following contributions:
* He metastable densities and N2 afterglow in the pulsed constricted mode of the µAPP RF microjet (μAPPJ)
* He metastables dynamics of a self-pulsing, propagating constricted discharge in an atmospheric pressure micro plasma jet
* Thomson scattering on pulsed high voltage cold atmospheric pressure plasma jets
* Investigation of surface reactions in atmospheric pressure plasma deposition processes of silicon dioxide like and hydrogenated amorphous carbon films

01.08.2014 - GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE: PLASMA PROCESSING SCIENCE
The Gordon Research Conference "Plasma Processing Science: Many Scales, Many Applications, One Discipline" was held from July 27 - August 1, 2014 at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI (USA). Prof. Achim Von Keudell was Vice Chair, Postdoc Dr. Ante Hecimovic gave a talk about "Spokes, Instabilities and Self Organisation Phenomena in HiPIMS Discharges" and Jun.-Prof. Jan Benedikt about "Plasma-Cell Interaction: Can We Ever Understand and Control It?" .
The Plasma Processing Science Gordon Research Conference was held in conjunction with the Plasma Processing Science Gordon Research Seminar.
Plasma processing science, due to its intrinsic nonequilibrium nature, has been at the heart of many key enabling technologies and provided breakthrough solutions in areas of energy, human health, and environmental sustainability. The 2014 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science featured a comprehensive program that highlights the most cutting edge scientific advances in plasma science and technology. It emphasized the common thread underlying all these applications that holds the promise to provide the knowledge base required to address future technological grand challenges. Fundamental science sessions focused on plasma physics and chemistry and their interaction on solid and liquid surfaces and for a wide range of applications, ranging from medicine, materials synthesis to energy production and storage. The conference brought together leaders in the field with junior investigators and graduate students. The special format of the Gordon Conferences, with programmed discussion sessions and ample time for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, provided for a fertile atmosphere of brainstorming and creative thinking among the attendees.

21.07.2014 - XXII ESCAMPIG
Prof. Dr. Achim von Keudell, Dr. Ante Hecimovic and PhD student Simon Große-Kreul went to the XXII Europhysics Conference on Atomic and Molecular Physics of Ionized Gases (ESCAMPIG) which was held in Greifswald, Germany, July 15-19, 2014.
The ESCAMPIG is an international biennial conference of the EPS (European Physical Society). The conference topics comprise basic and applied plasma research ranging from atomic and molecular processes in plasmas and plasmasurface interaction to self-organization in plasmas and to the new research lines with low and high pressure plasma sources.
The XXII ESCAMPIG is organized jointly by the Institute of Physics of the University of Greifswald (IfP), the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP Greifswald) and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), Greifswald branch.
