PSI Condensed Matter Retreat 2018 @ EMPA

13 Nov 2018, 08:00 → 14 Nov 2018, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Damaris Tartarotti Maimone, Henrik Till Lemke, Simon Gerber (Paul Scherrer Institut), Urs Staub (Paul Scherrer Institut)

To exchange ideas and to foster networking between young researchers in condensed matter at PSI, in particular between those using neutrons, muons &photons. I.e. mainly – but not exclusively – from LNS, LMU, LDM, LMX, LSM, LSC, LMN, LAP and LNO.
