    Comparative studies of low-intensity short-length arcs
    (Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Baeva, M.; Siewert, E.; Uhrlandt, D.
    We present results obtained by two non-equilibrium modelling approaches and experiments on low-intensity short-length arcs in argon at atmospheric pressure. The first one considers a quasi-neutral arc column combined with boundary conditions on the electrodes based on the energy balance in the space-charge sheaths. The second approach applies a unified description over the entire gap and solves the Poisson equation for the self-consistent electric field. The experiments provide the arc voltage.

    3D analysis of low-voltage gas-filled DC switch using simplified arc model
    (Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Gortschakow, S.; Gonzalez, D.; Yu, S.; Werner, F.
    Electro-magnetic simulations have been used for the visualization of distribution of Lorentz force acting on a DC switching arc in low-voltage contactor. A simplified plasma model (black-box model) was applied for the description of arc conductivity. Arc geometry was gained from the high-speed camera images. Influence of arc position, arc current and of external magnetic field has been studied. Results have been compared with optical observations of the arc dynamics.

    Field Arithmetic
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Pop, Florian; Stix, Jakob
    Field Arithmetic studies the interrelation between arithmetic properties of fields and their absolute Galois groups. It is an interdisciplinary area that uses methods of algebraic number theory, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, arithmetic geometry, finite and profinite groups, and nonarchimedean analysis. Some of the results are motivated by questions of model theory and used to establish results in (un-)decidability.

    Flat Surfaces and Algebraic Curves
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Möller, Martin; Zorich, Anton
    This workshop brought together two distinct communities: “flat” geometers, studying the moduli of flat surfaces, and Teichmüller dynamics, and algebraic geometers studying the moduli space of curves. While both communities study similar or often the same objects, very different viewpoints and toolboxes lead to different questions being addressed, and different progress being made. The workshop sought to educate each community about the techniques of the other, and to foster communication between the two groups. One particular focus was enumerative geometry.

    Characterization of self-modulated electron bunches in an argon plasma
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2018) Gross, M.; Lishilin, O.; Loisch, G.; Boonpornprasert, P.; Chen, Y.; Engel, J.; Good, J.; Huck, H.; Isaev, I.; Krasilnikov, M.; Li, X.; Niemczyk, R.; Oppelt, A.; Qian, H.; Renier, Y.; Stephan, F.; Zhao, Q.; Brinkmann, R.; Martinez de la Ossa, A.; Osterhoff, J.; Grüner, F.J.; Mehrling, T.; Schroeder, C.B.; Will, I.
    The self-modulation instability is fundamental for the plasma wakefield acceleration experiment of the AWAKE (Advanced Wakefield Experiment) collaboration at CERN where this effect is used to generate proton bunches for the resonant excitation of high acceleration fields. Utilizing the availability of flexible electron beam shaping together with excellent diagnostics including an RF deflector, a supporting experiment was set up at the electron accelerator PITZ (Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site), given that the underlying physics is the same. After demonstrating the effect [1] the next goal is to investigate in detail the self-modulation of long (with respect to the plasma wavelength) electron beams. In this contribution we describe parameter studies on self-modulation of a long electron bunch in an argon plasma. The plasma was generated with a discharge cell with densities in the 1013 cm-3 to 1015 cm-3 range. The plasma density was deduced from the plasma wavelength as indicated by the self-modulation period. Parameter scans were conducted with variable plasma density and electron bunch focusing.

    Emergence of Structures in Particle Systems: Mechanics, Analysis and Computation
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Schmidt, Bernd; Stefanelli, Ulisse; Theil, Florian
    The meeting focused on the last advances in particle systems. The talks covered a broad range of topics, ranging from questions in crystallization and atomistic systems to mesoscopic models of defects to machine learning approaches and computational aspects.

    Design and Analysis of Infectious Disease Studies
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Halloran, M. Elizabeth; O'Neill, Philip
    This was the fifth workshop on mathematical and statistical methods on the transmission of infectious diseases. Building on epidemiologic models which were the subject of earlier workshops, this workshop concentrated on disentangling who infected whom by analysing high-resolution genomic data of pathogens which were routinely collected during disease outbreaks. Following the trail of the small mutations which continuously occur in different places of the pathogens’ genomes, mathematical tools and computational algorithms were used to reconstruct transmission trees and contact networks.

    Toric Geometry
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2019) Maclagan, Diane; Schenck, Hal
    Toric geometry is a subfield of algebraic geometry with rich interactions with geometric combinatorics, and many other fields of mathematics. This workshop brought together a broad range of mathematicians interested in toric matters, and their generalizations and applications.

    Mini-Workshop: Operator Algebraic Quantum Groups
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2019) Caspers, Martijn; Weber, Moritz; Wysoczanska-Kula, Anna
    This mini-workshop brought together a rich and varied cross-section of young and active researchers working on operator algebraic aspects of quantum group theory. The primary goals of this meeting were to highlight the state-of-the-art results on the subject and to trigger new research by advertising some of the main open directions in operator algebraic quantum group theory: classification problems for C$^\ast$- and von Neumann algebras, relations to free/non-commutative probability, applications in quantum information theory, and the creation of new quantum groups and potential classification results for subclasses of quantum groups.

    Topology of Arrangements and Representation Stability
    (Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2018) Gaiffi, Giovanni; Jiménez Rolland, Rita; Suciu, Alexander
    The workshop “Topology of arrangements and representation stability” brought together two directions of research: the topology and geometry of hyperplane, toric and elliptic arrangements, and the homological and representation stability of configuration spaces and related families of spaces and discrete groups. The participants were mathematicians working at the interface between several very active areas of research in topology, geometry, algebra, representation theory, and combinatorics. The workshop provided a thorough overview of current developments, highlighted significant progress in the field, and fostered an increasing amount of interaction between specialists in areas of research.
