What determines de irreversibility line? What similarities can be gathered between CSD and PLD regarding vortex pinning? Do we have isotropic strain in PLD nanocomposites at low temperature like in CSD? What are the consequences of strain in the electronic density of state? How can we measure the consequences of strain on the DOS or quasiparticles behavior? Can microwave measurements answer some questions regarding the quasiparticles nature in strained regions? 13:00 Lunch 15:00 Discussion and future collaboration initiatives 17:00 Closing of the workshop
