2023 Workshop on Switches for Pulsed Power Applications
March 23rd and 24th, 2023
Technical University Darmstadt and GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung
Hosted by the TU Darmstadt and the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, the 2023 annual workshop of the ISP focussed on switch technologies for pulsed power applications. This included:
• Opening and Closing Switches
• High Power and high frequency Semiconducting Switches / Solid State Switches
• High Voltage Gas and Vacuum Switches
• Trigger and Protection Technologies
• Switch Cooling
• Assemblies and Systems
The workshop was intended to provide the possibility of networking within the pulsed power community and to support the scientific / technical exchange between science, industry and students. The frame of the workshop provided a more intimate opportunity for social and technical interaction than a large conference. The workshop was accompanied by a visit of the construction site of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) / GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the annual member meeting of the ISP. The workshop was free of charge.

Venue
The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates a worldwide leading accelerator facility for research purposes. About 1,520 employees are working at GSI. In addition, every year approximately 1,000 researchers from universities and other research institutes around the world come to GSI to use the facility for experiments.
At GSI, FAIR is currently being built, an international accelerator facility for the research with antiprotons and ions which is being developed and constructed in cooperation with international partners. It is one of the world’s largest construction projects for international cutting-edge research. The FAIR project was initiated by the scientific community and researchers of GSI. The GSI accelerators will become part of the future FAIR facility and serve as the first acceleration stage.
