  1. ECRS – 2010in Finland

  2. What about it? • Good location and interesting site (most N location); • First time ECRS is in a Nordic country (Lodz-00, Moscow-02, Florence-04, Lisbon-06, Kosice-08); • Easy connection for both E- and W-europeans, • Experience in medium size conference organizing: FP-2003, 2006, 2008; Space Climate 2004, 2006; Chapman-2004. • Young, enthusiastic and experienced LOC; • Wide range and 50-yr of CR research in Finland ;

  3. The city of Turku (Åbo) • Southwest coast of Finland (60.5o N 22.3o E) • 150 km from Helsinki • Famous for its archipelago • A city of 175000 inhabitants • The oldest (XIII cent.) town and former capital of Finland (UNESCO heritage) • Famous Dom Cathedral and Castle • The European capital of culture 2011 • A city of three universities • University of Turku • Åbo Akademi • Turku School of Economics and Business

  4. Possible venues for ECRS 2010 • University of Turku premises • can easily host more than 200 people • Mauno Koivisto Centre • Auditorium for 260 people • Spa Hotel Caribia • Auditorium and accommodation for several hundred people • All venues offer modern conference facilities and on-site or nearby restaurants

  5. Practical matters • Fee: reasonable (including lunches, banquet, receprtion, etc.) • Accomodation:from modern hotels to student’s lodgings (~25 Euro/day) • Travel: • Direct flight connections from Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki (Star Alliance and OneWorld), • Frequent trains (1-hr) or bus from Helsinki city or airport • A spectacular ferry trip from/to Stockholm • Train/bus connection from Russia (St.Petersburg & Moscow)

  6. Main Organizers • Eino Valtonenand students of the TU – LOC • Ilya Usoskin + UO/CUPP staff – scientific organisation+ on-site assitance • Rami Vainioand students of the UH • – practical support

  7. CR in Finland: ground stations 1960s – muon detector and NM started in Turku; 1964 – a permanent cosmic ray station (NM + muon detector) installed in Oulu. 1980 – a hadron spectrometer launched in Turku. 1985 – a small shower array started in Turku. 2000 – multi-layer Muon UnderGround detector launched in a mine in Pyhäsalmi/Oulu. 2009 – EMMA to be launched in Pyhäsalmi/Oulu.

  8. Space-borne missions • Finnish institutions (FMI, HUT, OU, TU, etc.) participated in a number of space missions since 1990s. • AMS • Cassini • Cluster • Freja • SOHO

  9. CR research • Data analysis and correction methods: • Oulu group, Turku group • A theory of CR transport in the heliosphere: • Oulu group • Solar energetic particles acceleration and transport: • Turku and Helsinki groups. • Terrestrial effects of CR: • Oulu group • Atmospheric showers study: • CUPP + Oulu group

  10. CR research in Finland • Helsinki University • Theoretical research • Solar energetic particles, corona and heliospheric transients • Helsinki University of Technology • Experiment (space technology) • Space Borne (AMS) • Jyväskylä University, Helsinki Univ., Kuopio Univ., Tampere Univ. • Cosmic experiment at CERN (ALICE/ACORDE, CLOUD) • Oulu University (Sodankylä Geophys. Observatory, CUPP, Dept. of Phys. Sciences): • Experiment: • Ground-based (NM 1964 ; Muon telescope 1964-1980’s and 2000 ; Underground muon machine 2003 ); • Theoretical research • Heliospheric transport of GCR; Solar energetic particles; Atmospheric showers; Terrestrial effect of CR. • Turku University: • Experiment: • Ground based (1960 – 1990); • Space Borne (SOHO/ERNE), AMS; • Theoretical research • Solar energetic particles;
