12th International Symposium on Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps (EBIST´14)

Title
12th International Symposium on Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps (EBIST´14)
Description

The 12th International Symposium on Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps, EBIST'14 will be held on May 18 - 21, 2014 at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in the mid-western "Spartan" city of East Lansing, Michigan, USA.

NSCL is a rare-isotope accelerator facility conducting advanced research in fundamental nuclear science, nuclear astrophysics, accelerator physics, and related instrumentation technologies. The facility was recently selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish the US national user Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) for basic research with rare-isotope beams.

The EBIST symposia date back to 1977 and have taken place every 3 to 4 years to specifically discuss progress and exchange ideas in the design, development, applications of electron beam ion sources and traps, and the physics with highly charged ions. The topics to be covered in 2014 are:

  • Progress and status of EBIS/T facilities,
  • Atomic spectroscopy of highly charged ions,
  • Charge-exchange and surface interaction with highly charged ions,
  • Charge breeding of stable and radioactive isotopes,
  • Nuclear physics with highly charged ions.

As in the past, the program of EBIST'14 will feature reviews and reports in a single session. We intend to organize a series of invited talks highlighting recent achievements and the future prospects in the above fields. In addition, contributions covering recent results will be selected for oral presentations. Furthermore, a small poster session is planned.
