Description

The Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) is organizing a workshop on “Dynamical processes in irradiated materials" to take place in the Basque city of San Sebastián, Spain, on July 26-28, 2010.

The workshop is aimed to be a platform for interaction between expert theoretical and experimental scientists working in the field of the radiation damage at the atomic scale. The program of this 3-day workshop will be built around a number of invited talks covering some important recent contributions to the field and poster sessions.

The workshop will take place in the charming city of San Sebastian (or Donostia in the Basque language). San Sebastian is built in the seashore, within a nice and small bay, and has several beaches where you can walk and swim within a walking distance from the historical center and the DIPC. Donostia-San Sebastián is located in the northeast of the Spanish Basque Country: 110 km from Bilbao, 500 km from Madrid, and 800 km from Paris. This charming medium-size city is set in a picturesque countryside, on the edge of the Biscay Gulf and surrounded by mountains. You can find information about the city and the Basque Country, respectively, at:

Scientific Objectives

The objective of this event is to get together experts in the field of radiation damage in materials, with special attention to the challenges for a microscopic theoretical description of the many processes involved in the radiation damage of real materials. In particular, great emphasis will be placed on the study of the energy transfer processes between fast projectiles and the electrons in the target material. The influence of such excited hot electrons in the dynamics of the atoms of the target and other non-adiabatic effects will be considered in detail. The most relevant experimental aspects of the field will be also covered by renowned experts.

Format

- The Scientific Program will consist of invited lectures of 30 minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion .

 
- Poster session will be organized to allow all participants to communicate their recent achievements. Therefore, a poster contribution is
strongly encouraged.

The extended deadline for abstract submission is July 9th. Abstracts should be submitted online, including title, authors, affiliation, and a description of the work to be presented.The page limit is one and the format is free (no template is provided) although we recommend double space manuscripts with up to 2 figures. The maximum size of the PORTRAIT panel to hold the posters is 170cm height and 100cm width.
