After successful experience of previous
International School/Workshops in 2000 -2003 in Björkliden we continue
this line and organize the 8th International Workshop.
The workshop will be devoted to the progress in nonequilibrium effects in mesoscopic structures, supersensitive cryogenic detectors and possible applications.
Special attention will be paid to Andreev reflection discovered 40 years ago.
Young scientists are very welcome for participation. Special lectures and
tutorials will be organized for PhD students and young scientists.
Special attention will be paid
to cooperation of our activity for participation in the 6 EU Framework
Programme. The related meeting of ESA-led Concortium "Developmement of Superconducting
Sensor Arrays" is under discussion. The possible application of the detectors
for Terahertz imaging and balloon, ground-based and space
telescope will be discussed.
The main topics of the detector workshop will be nonequilibrium effects in
mesoscopic structures and possible application of these effects for supersensitive
systems. The special attention will be paid to
- 40 years with Andreev Reflection
- Cold-Electron Bolometers for ultrasensitive
detection of IR and submillimeter waves; other types of sensors.
- Electron cooling by SIN tunnel
junctions; the problem of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in superconductors.
Cryogenics

- Analog SQUID readout system, imaging
arrays of bolometers; multiplexing

Igloo program:
The program will include building
a record snow Igloo using only traditional Eskimo instrument - a saw. Impressive
record is planned for this year – 2.1 tons on the top!
Probably, 40 years of Andreev Reflection will be celebrated by a
new design: 4-corner igloo (pyramid-style) - no analog in the
world.
