DAE-BRNS Theme Meeting on Liquid Helium Plants, Cryogenic Systems and their Applications (LHeP-CSA)

chaired by D. K. Srivastava (Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre)

from Monday 25 February 2013 at 08:00 to Tuesday 26 February 2013 at 18:00 (Asia/Kolkata)
at VECC ( VECC/ SINP Auditorium )

Description	Cryogenics play a major role in the modern large scale scientific projects like accelerators and fusion reactors. A few major challenging projects have been taken up by the Department in the 12th plan. All large scale cryogenic systems use helium liquefier/refrigerator for their operation. The Theme Meeting is planned at VECC to discuss helium liquifiers, cryogenic systems and their applications. This meeting will provide opportunities for young researchers to interact with stalwarts in this subject from all over the country. It will be a forum for discussions on this subject, new trends and new project taken this subject, new trends and new project taken up by different Institutes.The Theme Meeting will consist of invited lectures and some contributory talks. Interested participants are requested to contact Convenor, LHeP-CSA, by January 15,2013.
