The 7th International
Workshop
"From Andreev Reflection to the
International Space Station"
combined with the 1st
International Workshop
“Superconducting Digital
Interface”
Organizing Committee:
Leonid Kuzmin, Gothenburg, - Chairman

After successful experience of previous
three International School/Workshops in 2000 -2002 in Björkliden we
continue this line and organize the 7th International
Workshop. The workshop will be devoted to the progress in supersensitive
cryogenic detectors and possible applications. 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. This is an important goal of the workshop. We have
applied for ESF Network “Cryogenic Detector Technology for Imaging
Arrays (CryoDet)” and the results of the first stage of consideration
should be known to the moment of our conference. The possible application of
the detectors for the Cryogenic Telescope of the International Space Station
(Submillimetron Project) and other balloon and ground-based aplications 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
- Cold-Electron and Hot-Electron
Nanobolometers 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
- Quasioptics and HF Filtering; coupling
with bolometers
- Astronomical tasks in submm/IR regions
-Development of a Submillimeter Cryogenic
Telescope for the International Space Station (Project Submillimetron); other radioastronomy
projects.
- Single-photon detectors and Bolometers
for imaging circuit analysis: other possible applications of the imaging
submm/IR systems
The main topics of ”Superconducting digital interface
” workshop will be:
- Superconducting digital
interface to large arrays of detectors
- Superconducting digital
interface to Qubits; fundamental limits for RSFQ technology
- Superconducting /
optical interface

Igloo program:
The program will include building a record
snow Igloo using only traditional Eskimo instrument - a saw. Unbelievable
record is planned for this year – 2 tons on the top!
We estimate that this round figure can be
achieved by 24-25 participants on the top of Igloo. The igloo will have
an average diameter of 4 m 20 cm (an internal diameter of 3m70 cm), 5
tons of snow will be spread out on the surface of shell more than 30 m2.
A new technology of snow building will be
used for this purpose (using another principle of installation of blocks
and their fixation in comparison with classical Eskimo constructions). Of
course, it will be done in the best traditions of Eskimo snow skill using only
saws for block cutting (in contrast to the famous IceHotel in Jukkasjarvi,
where specially made metal constructions and snow machines are used in process
of building). An attempt of the new Guinness World Record is planned for the
last day of our school. Some photos of Igloo-01 and Igloo-02 can be found on
the web: http://fy.chalmers.se/~kuzmin/HOBBY/IGLOO/igloo-list.html
