Program
The program will contain many exciting presentations about new developments. Also the London and Simon Prize winners will give a presentation. Subjects range from graphene, superconducting qubits, quantum oscillations in HTC's, ultra-cold atoms in optical traps, quantum turbulence, time-reversal-symmetry breaking in nonconventional superconductors and optical cooling of mechanical cantilevers to the recently discovered Fe-As superconductors.

INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS AND PRESENTERS OF POSTERS IS NOW
AVAILABLE
Thursday night from 20.15 h there will be two public lectures
in the RAI Auditorium. Also all conference participants are invited and have
free access. (Sponsored by
Linde Kryotechnik AG).
See the Thursday Program.
18:15
Special evening romp session
on the new superconducting oxypnictides
This evening session
is being organized by Laura Greene and Setsuko Tajima. The first two
speakers are arranged; other scientists who like to share shortly their
newest results and ideas should contact the chairpersons.
18:15
Evening session on “World
Helium Supply and Technological Solutions”
In this evening session the helium issue will be addressed. There will
be two introductions of about half an hour followed by a discussion. The
first presentation is given by Dan Baciu from Linde and will be
about helium and its applications, players in the helium business and
market shares, worldwide demand and growth forecast, worldwide supply
and new sourcing projects, and long term helium S/D forecast.
The second
presentation will be given by Ray Radebaugh and will be about the
possible impact on the helium demand of the new technology of having dry
systems (dry magnets, dry dilution refrigerators, etc.) cooled with
cryocoolers. This talk will discuss the current status and future trends
of cryocoolers. Examples will be shown to illustrate how various
experiments have been adapted to use cryocoolers to eliminate or reduce
the need for helium.
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner will be organized on Monday, 11 August
from 19:30 to 22:30 h at
Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, located on the east side
of the
Krasnapolsky does not only provide an excellent ambience for our conference dinner, it also has an excellent reputation for hosting large banquets while retaining the high quality cuisine they are known for.
Thanks to a special arrangement of the City of Amsterdam the transportation from the RAI to Krasnapolsky will be by sight-seeing boats. We will sail over the Amstel river, and through some of the famous canals of Amsterdam. More information about entertainment during the banquet will be posted later.Please register in time, preferably when you register for
the conference, since the number of seats is limited; the all-in price is € 60
per person.
