Announcement of CHATS-AS 2008

CHATS on Applied Superconductivity 2008 will be held at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan, on October 30 - November 1, 2008, jointly hosted by Yokohama National University (YNU), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The Workshop will take place immediately after ISS 2008.

The main objective of CHATS-AS is to advance the state-of-the-art in the modeling of superconducting systems, from cables to magnets and other devices used for power generation and trasmission, fusion, high-energy physics as well as other applications. CHATS-AS has a special focus on engineering-grade design and analysis tools based on novel models, methods and simulation algorithms, and on the experimental validation of existing design and analysis tools. We put particular, but not exclusive, emphasis on gap-bridging research and multi physics problems.

CHATS-AS 2008 welcomes contributions fitting this program philosophy, with a specific interest in the following topics:

Mechanical modeling of cables for better understanding Nb3Sn strand degradation

Multi-physics modeling of HTS devices to increase understanding of stability and, expecially, quench protection issues

Modeling in support of the design and development of cryocoolers, and conduction-cooled superconducting devices.

The local organizing committee is pleased to invite you to participate in and contribute to CHATS-AS 2008. People who are interested are asked to pre-register to receive further information and details about the workshop, e.g. accomodation, registration fee.
