Second Helicon Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop
11-14 April 2024, Chongqing, China
Helicon plasma has been attracting continuously strong interests since its first invention
around 1970 by Rod Boswell at the Flinders University of South Australia. Attentions
have been given to both the underlying mechanisms of the high density, high ionization
rate and mysterious mode transitions, and the industrial applications including material
processing and electric propulsion. Helicon Plasma Physics and Applications (HPPA)
Workshop is established for the community to report new findings, conduct discussions,and communicate ideas. The First Helion Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop
was held in 23-24 September 2021 by Institute of Plasma Physics (CAS) and remotely
due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The workshop received 110 registrations and attracted
100 audiences from 30 affiliations, and was spoken highly of by the helicon community.
The Second Helicon Plasma Physics and Applications Workshop will be held in 11-14
April 2024, Chongqing, China. It will be organized by the Chongqing University andSouthwestern Institute of Physics, aiming to report the recent research progresses about
fundamental helicon plasma physics and emerging applications. Specific attentions will
be given to the industrious applications of helicon plasma sources. We sincerely invite
you to participate and contribute to the workshop. Chongqing is a very attractive tourist
city in China, e.g. famous for food (hotpot), transport (8D), and historical culture.
