LXCat Discussion
LXCat (www.lxcat.net) is an open-access, web-based platform for storing, exchanging, and manipulating data needed for the electron and ion components in cold, non-equilibrium plasmas. Following an already long tradition, the GEC committee has accepted once more to host an evening workshop for the users and contributors to the LXCat databases.
In the 2018 GEC LXCat workshop, recent evolution of the LXCat databases and organization will be briefly introduced together with a brief tutorial on “how to use LXCat”. The field of plasma modelling (and experiments) is a continuously and rapidly evolving field. Researchers will be invited to present relevant (hot topic) problems related to the thematic of the LXCat community. The meeting aims to be highly interactive with young researchers being strongly encouraged to make pitch presentation of their current data needs.
Regular updates will be posted on the GEC website. For more information please contact the organizers of this LXCat discussion: Emile Carbone (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching, emile.carbone@ipp.mpg.de) and Jan van Dijk (Eindhoven University of Technology. J.v.dijk@tue.nl).
