23rd Gaseous Electronics Meeting
Future Industries Institute
University of South Australia
28th February 2024 - 1st March 2024
Pridham Hall, City West Campus
28 February - 01 March 2024
We are pleased to announce that the 23rd Gaseous Electronics Meeting (GEM) will be held at the University of South Australia from 28th of February 28 to 1st of March, 2024. GEM is noted for bringing together researchers from widely different fields of Gaseous Electronics, and for attracting quite a number of overseas scientists. This GEM will follow previous GEM conferences in discussing the basic physics of electron collisional processes in gases, including laser interactions, electrical breakdown, transport theory and modelling. A range of significant applications of electric arcs and glows will be discussed, including arc welding, plasmas for the propagation of rockets, lightning, surface coatings, fusion plasmas, electrical breakdown and, more recently, plasmas in medical applications.
The two-day meeting of conference papers on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th of February will be followed by a conference tour of the Barossa Valley on Friday 1st of March, which is highly recommended. The Barossa Valley is famed not only for its 170 wineries, but also for its 27 churches, 24 of which have large church bells which chime together on Sundays. The tour will be led by John Lowke, who initiated the first GEM in 1980, and was also born in the Barossa. The final conference lunch will be held on the Friday at the Lambert winery, situated in an idyllic spot overlooking the valley on Long Gully Road, near Angaston. The Barossa Valley is unique and was settled initially almost entirely by immigrants from Germany, after George Fife Angas, a British millionaire, bought a large part of the Valley, but failed to initially interest a significant number of British immigrants.
