2^nd Workshop on Swarm Physics and Gaseous Dielectrics

The second workshop on Swarm Physics and Gaseous Dielectrics (2nd SPGD) will be held on Monday, August 26th, during the SPIG2024 conference in Belgrade, Serbia. Leading specialists from universities, research laboratories, and funding agencies worldwide will gather for a meeting, where they will focus on swarm-based studies to advance and utilize gaseous dielectrics in high-voltage technology. The workshop is designed to examine experimental and theoretical methods for studying charged particle interactions with molecules, including scattering and transport, in both gaseous and condensed phases. Particular topics include the modelling of charged particle kinetics in low-temperature plasmas, focusing on techniques associated with the Boltzmann equation, Monte Carlo method, and fluid equation-based models. The workshop will consist of invited progress reports followed by a discussion session on topical issues and the future of the field. The workshop is supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, Grant No.7749560, project EGWIn.
