QUANTUM PHENOMENA AT LOW TEMPERATURE (ULTI III USERS MEETING)

The Low Temperature Laboratory organized a Workshop on Quantum Phenomena at Low Temperatures in Lammi, Finland, on January 7 - 10, 2004. It attracted 87 scientists from 18 countries. The first day of the Workshop was dedicated to the memory of Academician Olli V. Lounasmaa, who passed away on 27th of December, 2002.

The main part of the workshop belonged to a series of users meetings sponsored by ULTI I, II and III, the three consecutive European Union visitor programmes of the Low Temperature Laboratory. The previous meetings were organized in 1994, 1998 and 2001. The object of the Workshop was to review the progress of the ongoing ULTI III projects (EU grant number HPRI-1999-CT-00050 in the Transnational Access to major Research Infrastructures programme, 2000 - 04) and explore the possibilities for future experiments.

The scientific programme of the symposium consisted of 36 oral contributions and 21 posters in four main areas:

The Proceedings of the Workshop, containing 13 contributions, were published in JLTP 136, 5/6, in September 2004.
