Friday April 21st, h 08:45, Polo Scientifico Tecnologico Fabio Ferrari – Room A108 Programme 8.45-9.00 Welcome speech of Paolo Tosi (Head of the Atomic & Molecular Physics Group) 9.00-9.55 First Session (Leonardo Ricci) 11.15-13.00 Fourth Session (Paolo Tosi) Diana Elisa Chiari Permutation Entropy: one tool, multiple applications Giorgio Dilecce Non-equilibrium in action The speaker will introduce a new method of non-linear analysis of complex systems, Permutation Entropy, and its applications in biology and plasma physics. How and why the strong non-equilibrium in electric discharges is so important in many technological applications. Alessio Perinelli Investigating the embedding lattice Sara Lovascio Plasma-catalysis processes for CO2 reforming of methane Depending on the embedding applied to a time series, distinct vector distance distributions arise: characterising the mutual relation between these distributions by means of their Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is the first step towards a possible objective criterion for optimal embedding. An introduction to plasma dry reforming coupled to catalysis, and to the ongoing research on the CO2 conversion by nanosecond discharges. 9.55-10.25 Second Session (Daniela Ascenzi) Luca Matteo Martini Laser-induced fluorescence in atmospheric pressure discharges Andrea Cernuto Reactive Scattering and Astrochemistry: Ion-Neutral reactions at work A brief overview of experimental and theoretical methods for studying ion-neutral reactions of astrophysical interest. The detection of transient species in atmospheric pressure discharges requires selectivity, sensitivity, and high time- and spaceresolution. Laser-induced fluorescence is the technique of choice. 10.25-10.45 Coffee Break 10.45-11.15 Third Session (Mario Scotoni) Maddalena Bertolla Looking and sensing an interlaced yarn The talk will be about the study of the so-called “interlacing process”, that causes the formation of knots in a yarn. The process is investigated using a visual approach and a vibrational analysis.

By this technique, radial/axial profiles of rotational and vibrational temperature are obtained. They show peak values of 4000 K and 10000 K, respectively. [email protected]
