Since 2020, the PLAS@PAR teams have been happy to participate with the program entitled “Journey to the heart of the 4th state of matter: plasma”. The cycle was unfortunately interrupted due to the health context. The conferences will resume in 2021 for those registered for the 2020 session; the program remains the same, it will follow the continuation of what was already introduced during the first sessions. The dates will be specified later.

Dates and place
TUESDAY | 14:00 | Campus Pierre et Marie Curie

Program
Plasma, or ionized matter, makes up over 99% of the visible matter in the Universe. Studied in the laboratory or observed in its natural environment (aurora borealis, stars, sun, lightning), plasma is also part of our daily life (integrated circuits, lighting). Current research also makes it possible to envisage applications in the fields of health, the environment or energy production.

1. What is plasma? Basic definition and process (1). (Mr. PRIGENT)

4. Plasma: stars, galaxies and astrophysical objects. (Mrs REZEAU).
5. Fusion, the inexhaustible energy of tomorrow? (Mrs REZEAU).
6. Laser technology and laser-matter interaction. (Mr PRIGENT).
