Dear all,
two new events in the frame of the COST Action will tackle different aspects of ion trapping. The Cryogenic Ion Trapping Day focuses on technical aspects of low-temperature devices, while the 2nd edition of ECCTI is dedicated to young ion trappers, and gives them a unique opportunity to gather and discuss. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 October 2021 – hurry up !

Cryogenic ion trapping day on 19 October 2021 via Zoom
Ions like their traps cold. Therefore, more and more ion trapping experiments make use of cryogenic environments. However, designing and operating a cryogenic setup is still challenging. This technical meeting within the COST action CA17113 is intended to connect the community interested in trapping ions in cryogenic environments. Different speakers will introduce their cryogenic setups, discussing their design, performance, and limitations. Ample time is reserved for technical discussion and exchange of experiences. The announcement is HERE including the meeting schedule
Register at LINK before the deadline: 17 October 2021
