Transcript of ECRS – 2010 in Finland. What about it? Good location and interesting site (most N location); First...
What about it?
• Good location and interesting site (most N location);
• First time ECRS is in a Nordic country (Lodz-00, Moscow-02, Florence-04, Lisbon-06, Kosice-08);
• Easy connection for both E- and W-europeans,• Experience in medium size conference organizing:
FP-2003, 2006, 2008; Space Climate 2004, 2006; Chapman-2004.
• Young, enthusiastic and experienced LOC;• Wide range and 50-yr of CR research in Finland ;
The city of Turku (Åbo)• Southwest coast of Finland (60.5o N 22.3o E)
– 150 km from Helsinki– Famous for its archipelago
• A city of 175000 inhabitants– The oldest (XIII cent.) town and former capital of
Finland (UNESCO heritage)– Famous Dom Cathedral and Castle– The European capital of culture 2011
• A city of three universities– University of Turku– Åbo Akademi– Turku School of Economics and Business
Possible venues for ECRS 2010
• University of Turku premises– can easily host more than 200 people
• Mauno Koivisto Centre– Auditorium for 260 people
• Spa Hotel Caribia– Auditorium and accommodation for several
hundred people
• All venues offer modern conference facilities and on-site or nearby restaurants
Practical matters• Fee: reasonable (including lunches, banquet, receprtion,
etc.)
• Accomodation: from modern hotels to student’s lodgings (~25 Euro/day)
• Travel: – Direct flight connections from Stockholm, Copenhagen
and Helsinki (Star Alliance and OneWorld), – Frequent trains (1-hr) or bus from Helsinki city or airport– A spectacular ferry trip from/to Stockholm – Train/bus connection from Russia (St.Petersburg & Moscow)
Main Organizers
• Eino Valtonen and students of the TU – LOC
• Ilya Usoskin + UO/CUPP staff – scientific organisation + on-site assitance
• Rami Vainio and students of the UH • – practical support
CR in Finland: ground stations1960s – muon detector and NM started in Turku;
1964 – a permanent cosmic ray station (NM+ muon detector) installed in Oulu.
1980 – a hadron spectrometer launched in Turku.
1985 – a small shower array started in Turku.
2000 – multi-layer Muon UnderGround detectorlaunched in a mine in Pyhäsalmi/Oulu.
2009 – EMMA to be launched in Pyhäsalmi/Oulu.
Space-borne missions
Finnish institutions (FMI, HUT, OU, TU, etc.) participated in a number of space missions since 1990s. • AMS• Cassini• Cluster• Freja• SOHO
CR research• Data analysis and correction methods:
Oulu group, Turku group
• A theory of CR transport in the heliosphere: Oulu group
• Solar energetic particles acceleration and transport: Turku and Helsinki groups.
• Terrestrial effects of CR: Oulu group
• Atmospheric showers study:CUPP + Oulu group
CR research in Finland• Helsinki University
– Theoretical research• Solar energetic particles, corona and heliospheric transients
• Helsinki University of Technology– Experiment (space technology)
• Space Borne (AMS)• Jyväskylä University, Helsinki Univ., Kuopio Univ., Tampere Univ.
– Cosmic experiment at CERN (ALICE/ACORDE, CLOUD)• Oulu University (Sodankylä Geophys. Observatory, CUPP, Dept. of Phys. Sciences):
– Experiment:• Ground-based (NM 1964 ; Muon telescope 1964-1980’s and 2000 ; Underground
muon machine 2003 );– Theoretical research
• Heliospheric transport of GCR; Solar energetic particles; Atmospheric showers; Terrestrial effect of CR.
• Turku University:– Experiment:
• Ground based (1960 – 1990);• Space Borne (SOHO/ERNE), AMS;
– Theoretical research • Solar energetic particles;
