  1. 24. Nuclear Fusion - Measurements techniques and technologies for high temperature laboratory plasmas
    Joao Figueiredo (EUROfusion), Michael Krisch (ESRF)
    13/05/2019, 10:00
  2. 25. Particle Physics at CERN
    Christian Joram (CERN)
    13/05/2019, 10:30

    The current experimental programme of CERN is dominated by the operation and upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its four major experiments. After a short introduction to CERN as an organisation and its scientific programme, the talk will discuss the basic principles of experimental particle physics and illustrate the use of accelerators and detectors to study the microcosm of...

  3. 53. Instrumentation for X-ray free electron laser - overview
    Frederic Le Pimpec (European XFEL)
    13/05/2019, 11:30

    The 3.4 km long European XFEL generates extremely intense X-ray flashes to be used by researchers from all over the world. The flashes are produced in underground tunnels and will allow scientists to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, and study the processes in the interior of planets.

  7. 48. ESO and Ground-Based Astronomy
    Sebastian Egner (ESO)
    13/05/2019, 14:30

    In this talk, I would like to introduce ESO, the European Southern Observatory. After a brief overview of the organization, I will present the current and future telescopes and instruments at our observatories (La Silla, VLT/I, VST, VISTA, ELT, CTA). We will also have a look at the diverse science, which can be done with these huge machines, and our motivations for building ever bigger telescopes.

  8. 49. Space - Once explorers, always explorers
    Mark McCaughrean (ESA)
    13/05/2019, 15:00

    The European Space Agency's science and exploration missions have been much in the news over the last few years, with the first results from its Gaia Milky Way surveyor and its LISA Pathfinder gravitational wave detection technology testbed, the arrival of its ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter at the Red Planet, the launch of the BepiColombo mission to Mercury, and the decade-long saga of the Rosetta...

  10. 52. Radiation effect sand hardness assurance for space electronics
    christian poivey (ESA ESTEC)
    16/05/2019, 10:15

    Survival and successful operations of space instrumentation in the space radiation environment cannot be ensured without careful consideration of the effects of radiation. The lecture will start with a presentation of the space environment. Then, after a short introduction of radiation effects in electronic parts the process of radiation hardness assurance for space instrument electronics will...
