12th International Workshop on the Mechanisms of Vacuum Arcs  (MeVArc 2025)

1–5 Jun 2025
Europe/Stockholm timezone

Marek Jacewicz

News:

  • Call for abstracts is now closed. A late abstract can still be submitted for consideration for poster presentation.

  • After the conference, we will offer an optional guided tour of the FREIA laboratory for interested participants. The tour will take place in the morning on Friday, June 6th, and should last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
    Transportation will be arranged to the Ångström Laboratory, which houses the FREIA lab, and the journey takes around 30 minutes. Afterward, the participants can reach Uppsala center by walking along the river (~30 minutes) or public transport (~20 minutes).

  • Please note that we must leave Wik's Castle on Friday morning. Those planning to extend their stay will need to arrange their own accommodations.

  • Keep in mind that June 6th is a public holiday in Sweden.

 

 

Overview

Vacuum arcs are a concern in nearly every vacuum device under electric field; consequently they are present in a very wide range of applications. Sometimes vacuum arcs form the basis for device operation, but all too often they are the primary failure mode.

Understanding the physical processes of a vacuum arc requires expertise from many disciplines – material science, surface physics, and plasma physics. Applications include high-voltage electronics, RF accelerators, electrostatic accelerators and vacuum interrupters. The purpose of this workshop series is to bring together scientists and engineers from many different disciplines and application areas to discuss the latest efforts in understanding vacuum arcs. We cover theory, simulation and experiments.

This workshop is hosted by FREIA laboratory (Uppsala University) and will run from June, 1st to June, 5th 2025 at Wik's castle near Uppsala, Sweden.

Login

In order to register for the conference, you have to log in to the CERN Indico system by clicking on "Registration" or "Submit abstract" on the left side menu. You will then be directed to the login page. There are four options to log in:

  • If you have already a CERN account, you can use it.
  • If your home organization participates in the eduGAIN network (there are already 400+ universities and instututions who do), you can sign in with your organization or institution account, after you selected your organization in the eduGAIN dialog box.
  • If you have a public service account such as Facebook, Google, Windows Live or Yahoo, you can use that account to log in.
  • If none of the above works (and only then), you can create a Lightweight CERN account on the CERN Account Management page. Be sure to remember the username and password, since you will need that account to submit any abstract, slides or proceedings.

If you somehow have trouble to create a CERN lightweight account or using your public service account for Indico access, please restart your browser. If that does not help, try to delete cookies, then empty the browser cache.
