Hubert Ceeh presented „New measurement of the decay rate of the negative positronium ion“ and was one of three students, who received the award.
The conference SLOPOS-12 (12th International Workshops on Slow Positron Beam Techniques) was held from the 1st to the 6th of August in Australia. 122 participants from 17 different nations were present. In a secrete vote, the conference participants chose the FRM II in Garching for the next SLOPOS-13 in 2013.
Dr. Christoph Hugenschmidt, head of the positron group at the FRM II, had presented the positron source NEPOMUC and its experiments in a plenary talk. “We are looking forward, to host the SLOPOS-13 in the summer of 2013 at the FRM II in Garching”, says Hugenschmidt. At the end of the SLOPS-12, Dr. Hugenschmidt received the historical bell of the conference for the next SLOPOS. Beside Dr. Hugenschmidt and Hubert Ceeh, also Jakob Mayer and Christian Piochacz from the FRM II positron group took part at the conference.
