Second Workshop on Physics and Applications of Magnetic Microcalorimeters

Dec 18, 2023, 9:00 AM → Dec 19, 2023, 8:30 PM Europe/Berlin

Sebastian Kempf (Institute of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems)

During the last LTD conference in Seoul, the idea was born to try organizing the „Second Workshop on the Physics and Applications of Magnetic Microcalorimeters“ in December this year.

Similar to last time, the workshop is not meant to present conference-like presentation but rather to discuss „the devil the in details“, common challenges, topics you thought about and may would like to get input, fabrication issues, ideas for new projects and experiments, tips and tricks etc. So, again the workshop should be a meeting among MMC friends that try pushing forward this technology as far as possible.
