VUV-Sat:
A satellite workshop to be held in association with VUV14
First Announcement.
The Fourteenth International Conference on Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation
Physics (VUV14) is to be held in Cairns, Australia from July 19 - 23, 2004.
An informal, satellite workshop is being arranged at the University of
Melbourne for the period July 12-13. This timing has been chosen to make it
possible for overseas visitors to visit colleagues in Melbourne, Canberra,
Sydney or Brisbane before the start of VUV14, or to provide an opportunity for
them to sample some of the tourist attractions of eastern Australia.
(Melbourne is 4 hours by air south of Cairns). Many international airfares
permit side trips within Australia at little or no additional cost.
The workshop program will highlight a sub-set of the topics included within
VUV14.
To encourage personal interactions, it will consist of oral
presentations only; there will be no parallel sessions.
Offers of contributions in the following areas in particular are invited:
Atomic and Molecular Science
VUV and soft X-ray Spectroscopy
Instrumentation, Detectors
Surface Science
Magnetism
Novel light Sources
Venue:
University of Melbourne at 151 Barry Street Carlton
