Abstract:

The conference on Fluctuations in Superconductors was held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California, on March 13-15, 1968. It was sponsored by Office of Naval Research, Physics Branch National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Ames Research Center and Stanford Research Institute. The scientific staff on ONR and NASA are due special thanks for realizing the desirability of having a small conference in this young and important research area. The purpose of the Conference on Fluctuations in Superconductors was to discuss the theoretical and experimental state-of-the-art of fluctuations in superconductors and to attempt to help optimize the results of future research in this field. Further, one session at the conference was devoted to superfluid helium. The superfluid transition in helium and the transition to superconductivity are very similar and since much basic research has been done on the helium transition region, it was felt a review would be worthwhile. Also, liquid helium usually provides the thermal environment for superconductors so fluctuations in the helium might be a source of noise measured in superconducting circuits. Author
