2023 Summer school planning started

After one year of a Corona-break the on-sight restart of the International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications in 2022 was very successful.  Unfortunately the school was heavily overbooked, so we could not accept many applicants. We are now looking forward to the 26th International Plasma School on "Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications" (September 30 - October 5, 2023) and its Master Class “Advanced diagnostics of atmospheric pressure plasmas” (October 6-7, 2023). 

Currently, the program for the upcoming summer school is being generated. More information follow soon.

International School on Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications

The aim of the course is aquaint students with the present status of the field of low temperature plasma physics. It is assumed that the students have followed introductory physics courses at their home university. However, the basic principles will be summarized at the beginning of the course. The course offers a broadening of knowledge in plasma physics and in the interaction of plasmas with surfaces including a description of advanced diagnostics. In addition, the students will be able to interact with the teachers of the course and they will meet fellow students from other universities in Europe and the rest of the world. Participants are invited to bring with them presentation material in form of posters. 

Well-known experts...

in the field will present lectures in the following areas:

  • fundamentals of plasma physics,
  • plasma sources,
  • thermal and low pressure plasmas,
  • atomic processes,
  • electron kinetics,
  • diagnostics and plasma spectroscopy,
  • modeling,
  • plasma-surface interactions,...
