High-Pressure PSI Workshop
January 25, 2006
µSR Techniques and Applications
Purpose
The very recent years have seen a remarkable increase of the number of µSR studies performed
under extreme conditions, and in particular under high pressures. For these
studies, a leading role has been played by
experiments performed at the Swiss Muon Source of the Paul Scherrer Institute,
where recent developments have led to the availability of high-pressure cells
adapted to µSR measurements.
As such technical developments are still underway, with new high-energy µSR
instruments soon available allowing one to reach new pressure and temperatures
ranges (i.e. up to 3 GPa and down to 0.25 K), and as the first research results
have recently been published, the conditions to organise a Workshop to assess
such progresses are nowadays fulfilled.
Accordingly, the aims of the Workshop will be:
-
to review and assess recent important technical developments of
high-pressure sample environments for µSR studies.
-
to present typical new
scientific results obtained recently by high-pressure µSR studies and to
identify novel reseach activities possible with the combination of extreme
conditions (as high-pressure and very low temperatures)
-
to identify new
technical development paths toward the availability of higher pressures
-
to create the basis for decentralized but coordinated network activities for the
realisation of improved high-pressure sample environments for µSR studies
Location & Time
The Workshop will take place at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland),
in the main Auditorium (WHGA) located on the West side of PSI.

Accomodation information (at PSI and nearby) can be found
here.
The Workshop will begin on Wednesday January 25, 2006 at 09:00 (Main
Auditorium, WHGA) and will end on the same day at 16:00.
The Workshop will be followed the same day by the annual µSR users
meeting (starting time 16:40) which will continue on Thursday.
Programme
The foreseen program will be divided in three main sessions
The first session will be dedicated to introductory talks, providing a review of
the usefulness of high-pressure measurements to study fundamental properties in
matter.
The second session will review present and future µSR studies performed at
high-pressures
The last session will review the present and future technical developments at
the European Muon Sources towards high-pressure sample environments
