[vip-all] Talents

21 Jun '18

Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?).

[vip-all] Lukning af varme onsdag den 26. november 2014 i bygning 1520 - 1541
by Ruth Laursen 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Kære alle, Til orientering: Onsdag den 26. november fra kl. 8.00 til 16.00 vil der ikke være varme på i bygning 1520 - 1541. Dette er pga. omlægning af fjernvarme. Vi opfodrer til, at man lader vinduer og døre være lukket i det ovennævnte tidsrum. Husk evt. en ekstra trøje. Med venlig hilsen Maria ***************************************** Dear All For your information: Wednesday 26th November from 8 am until 4 pm there will be no heating in building 1520-1541. This is due to relaying of the district heating. We encourage keeping windows and doors shut during the above mentioned time. You may also want to bring an extra sweater.

Kære alle Tilmeldingsfristen er udsat til onsdag den 3. december, så du kan stadig nå det! Det er gratis for børn og børnebørn, og de voksne kan betale ved festen. Vi håber at se rigtig mange til julehygge,julemusik og julemand. Med venlig hilsen PS! Personale og studerende ved IFA og ISA ........ Dear all, The deadline is postponed to December 3, so you still have time! It's free for children and grandchildren, and the adults can pay at the party. We hope to see many colleagues, children and grandchildren to an afternoon filled with Danish "hygge", music and Santa. Best regards, PS! Personale og studerende ved IFA og ISA

[vip-all] Tandem-target storage area
by Ulrik Ingerslev Uggerhøj 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi, If have never used the Tandem-target storage area (1524-023B), this message is not for you. PLEASE keep the storage area nice, clean and tidy! Mark everything you put down there CLEARLY with name and phone number. The attached photos show things 'left behind' - if they are yours, please respond to this e-mail as soon as possible, otherwise we will throw these items out. There are also many empty hardware racks left on the shelves, will they ever be used again? The photos show the area after 2 hours of hard work, moving equipment around, removing empty boxes etc. - this is not OK, PLEASE leave the area behind at least as clean and tidy as you found it. ALT PÅ PLADS, GIVER PLADS TIL ALT! Ulrik Ulrik I. Uggerhøj Department of Physics and Astronomy Aarhus University Denmark Phone: +45 2338 2373

[vip-all] GPC Seminar today at 15:15 - Hans Linderholm

General Physics Colloquium Wed. 26th November 15:15-16:00 Fys. Aud. Title: How tree rings provide a deeper insight into past climate variability - examples from Fennoscandia and Asia Speaker: Hans Linderholm Professor in Physical Geography Department of Earth Sciences University of Gothenburg Sweden Abstract: The annual growth of trees represents a combined record of different environmental forcing factors, one of which is climate. Provided that the trees grow in an environment where they are limited by climate, such as close to the elevational or latitudinal tree line, a firmly dated tree-ring chronology can provide climate information with annual resolution. Tree-ring data is easily sampled with high replication at each site, so it is possible to produce dense networks of tree-ring data, which can yield climate information with high temporal and spatial resolution. Presently, tree-ring data is perhaps the most favoured proxy to reconstruct and understand late Holocene climate variability. Since the 1980s, this scientific field has grown rapidly, and today there exist a wealth of tree-ring data across most of the extratropical regions of the world. This data has been used to increase our understanding of local to global climates, and the influence of external and internal forcing, during the last centuries to millennia. This presentation will focus on the recent developments at the Gothenburg laboratory for Dendrochronology regarding tree-ring research in Fennoscandia, including spatial reconstructions of drought and temperature for the last millennium, but some results from Asia will also be presented and discussed. Wine and cheese will be served at 4 PM

[vip-all] Remember General Physics Colloquium today: Anne E. Nielsen
by Mette Alstrup Lie 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

General Physics Colloquium 'Fractional quantum Hall physics and topology in lattice systems' Anne E. Nielsen MPI-Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany The discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the early eighties revealed the physical existence of phases of matter that differ fundamentally from previously known phases, and these phases are still under intense investigations today. The property that makes them special is that they are topological. Topology is the study of quantities that do not change when a geometrical object is deformed smoothly. Examples include the twist of a Möbius strip and the hole through a torus. One way that topology can appear in two-dimensional quantum many-body systems is through the existence of anyons. Anyons are localized excitations that look like particles, but nevertheless have properties that normal, isolated particles cannot have. Anyons are interesting from a fundamental point of view and also for, e.g., quantum computation. In recent years, there has been a lot of effort towards clarifying under which conditions the fractional quantum Hall effect can occur. One motivation for this is the hope to find easier and more robust ways to realize the effect experimentally. In this talk, I will first give an introduction to topology and the fractional quantum Hall effect. I will then discuss some recent proposals for engineering fractional quantum Hall physics under new conditions. Wine and cheese will be served at 4 PM.
