Non Evaporable Getter Pumps in UHV-XHV Systems
Speaker:Dr. Andrea Cadoppi (SAES, Milan/Italy)
Abstract:Due to the complexity of UHV systems in a variety of applications (i.e. Surface Science, Thin Film Deposition, Portable Systems, Cold Atomic Trap, Electron Microscopes, Particle Accelerators), the space available for mounting UHV pumps is getting smaller. A radically new approach is here presented, which can mitigate this issue. In particular, Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) and ion pumping technologies are properly combined and integrated in one single compact pumping device, called NEXTorr®. In the NEXTorr® pump, the getter cartridge acts as the main UHV pumping element, leaving to a small sputter ion pump the ancillary task of removing noble gases and methane, not pumped by the NEG. This design allows achieving large pumping speed in a very small package. The NEXTorr® pump will also address other specific issues in UHV systems like the reduction of the magnetic interferences and the vibra

Top-Quarks at 100 TeV
Speaker:Susanne Westhoff (University of Pittsburgh)
Abstract:The international effort to build a proton-proton collider at very high energies is driven by two perspectives. We seek to search energy scales beyond the LHC reach for new physics, and to explore the electroweak standard model in its unbroken phase. In particular, the heaviest articles of the standard model, top-quarks, appear ultimately massless in processes at very high energies. I will focus on top-quark initiated processes at a 100 TeV collider and discuss ways to consistently treat the collinear enhancement from top-quarks emitted along the beam line.

Adsorption, absorption and reaction of hydrogen at Pd-based alloy surfaces
Speaker:Prof. Katsuyuki Fukutani (Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo/Japan)
Abstract:Hydrogen is a clean energy source, and hydrogen generation, storage and utilization are of crucial importance in our future society. Since solid surfaces play important roles in these processes, our group has focused on the studies of hydrogen interaction with metal and metal oxide surfaces. For this purpose, we have developed nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) that allows for high-resolution depth profiling of hydrogen and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI). Pd is a typical material that absorbs hydrogen in its bulk, and hydrogen absorbed in Pd clusters was shown to play an essential role in olefin hydrogenation reactions. On the other hand, alloying with Au has been claimed to enhance hydrogen absorption in Pd. By combining NRA and TPD, we have studied absorption of hydrogen in Pd(110) and Pd70Au30(110), and shown that hydrogen can be efficiently absorbed in Pd70Au30(1

Geometric compactication and conformal geometry
Speaker:Rod Gover (Auckland)
Abstract:Conformal compactification is a well established tool in GR and many related fields. The model for this construction is often taken to be the Poincare ball model of hyperbolic space. There is a refinement of this idea which reveals the Lie groups and Lie group embeddings behind conformal compactification. These structures at once generalise to the curved setting through the conformal Cartan-tractor calculus (i.e. the natural conformally invariant connection and related objects. This provides a conceptual and calculationally effective way to treat Many problems linked to conformal compactification.
