Title: Advanced RF Acceleration
Abstract: For decades conventional RF accelerators have been built and operated with ever increasing capability thru a few tens of gigahertz in frequency. More recent research takes advantage of the continuing development of high peak power short pulse lasers to drive accelerator structures at optical frequencies. This jump from RF to optical frequencies skips four orders of magnitude in wavelength. With recent experiments that demonstrate high gradients in metallic structures at millimeter wavelengths one is compelled to consider the viability of new approaches for acceleration in the millimeterwave to...

"Macroscopic behavior of systems with a dynamic preferred direction" Professor Helmut Brand
Abstract
We present the derivation of the macroscopic equations for systems with a dynamic preferred direction, which can be axial or polar in nature.
In addition to the usual hydrodynamic variables we introduce the time derivative of the local preferred direction [1] or the macroscopic velocity associated with the motion of the active units [2] as a new variable and discuss their macroscopic consequences [1,2]. Such an approach is expected to be useful for a number of biological systems including, for example, the formation of dynamic macroscopic patterns shown by certain bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, shoals of fish, flocks of birds and migrating insects.
As a concrete application we set up a macroscopic model of...

Title: Introduction to the CLIC linear collider study and associated development of high-gradient accelerating structures
Abstract: The CLIC collaboration is studying the design of a TeV-range electron-positron linear collider and developing key technology for it. I will give an overview for the motivation for CLIC, introduce the accelerator concept and then go on describe the development of high-gradient accelerating structures - which have a very strong influence on both performance and cost of the whole machine. The accelerating structures are in turn limited by vacuum breakdown and I will finish by describing research into the fundamental physics and...
"Anomalies, Chern-Simons Terms and Black Hole Entropy" Dr. Tatsuo Azeyanagi (LPTENS, Paris)
Speaker : Dr. Tatsuo Azeyanagi (LPTENS, Paris) Title : Anomalies, Chern-Simons Terms and Black Hole Entropy Abstract : Quantum anomalies enable us to access to some important information about quantum field theories in a robust way. Recently, the hydrodynamic limit of the systems with the anomalies has been actively investigated, together with its dual holographic description by gravitational theories with Chern-Simons terms. In this presentation, I will start with a review on the effect of the anomalies in the hydrodynamic limit of conformal field theories. Then I would like to explain how the beautiful property of Chern-Simons terms helps us to compute in detail various quantities relevant to the anomalies through the dual gravitational description. I will also discuss the...
