12th Workshop on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas
There will be a special issue of IEEE Trans. Plasma
Sci. in April 2010 for conference papers. The due date has passed.
The web site is at being constructed: http://wpdp.colorado.edu
New research web pages!!
Finally. We are updating our stuff. The old material will stay here while we reconstruct. Here is the first new stuff in lovely magenta with blue highlights:
I. The MASS rocket campaign
This campaign was conducted in August 2007 to find the size and altitude distribution of charged aerosol particles responsible for noctilucent clouds.
A. Zoltan's Quicktime movie of the first rocket launch: MASS_movie.MOV (August, '07)
B. Photo gallery from the rocket campaign: My trip to Norway.htm (August, '07)
C. Power Point from Spring 2006 AGU saying what we are going to do: Manuscript_links\AGU_SA53A-04.pdf (May '07)
D. Power Point for the Fairbanks LPMR meeting showing that we have done it: Manuscript_links\LPMR_Fairbanks_4.pdf (Sept. '07)
E. Public talk on the preliminary results from the campaign: Manuscript_links\CIPS_TALK_5.pdf (Nov. '07)
F. Fall 2007 AGU poster on the MASS results: Manuscript_links\AGU_poster_2007_MASS_results.pdf (Dec. '07)
G. Public talk on MASS results (upleg of MASS#1) given at LASP, 28 February 2008: Manuscript_links\LASP_TALK.ppt (Feb. '08)
II. Dust on the moon - an overview of the lunar dust problem (by David Alexander, 1996) A trip to the Moon
III. Langmuir probe research (through 2006): Probe research
IV. Presheath, sheath, and ion mobility research (through 2006): Presheath & sheath research
V. Particle and
energy balance in laboratory plasmas (through 2006): Particle and energy
balance
VI. Smoky Plasma: The mesosphere in the laboratory (started in Fall ’06): Smoky Plasma Experiment
VII. The annular Penning Trap project (which ended in year 2000) :The Annular Penning Trap Project
