About the Conference
November 10, 1986, marks the day when EBIT started
"routine" operation as a spectroscopic source. We will
commemorate this momentous occasion with a Workshop "20
Years of Spectroscopy with EBIT." The Workshop is organized
by the University of California Berkeley Space Sciences
Laboratory and will be held Nov 12-16, 2006, in Berkeley, California.
The Workshop will
bring together EBIT alumni, collaborators, and users of
EBIT data. We will review historical contributions of
Livermore's EBIT to atomic, nuclear, plasma, high-energy-density,
solar, and astrophysics. We will also identify areas of
current need for data and future opportunities, such as
magnetic fusion, ICF, and high-energy-density physics. The workshop will be a great
opportunity to meet old friends and to make new ones,
while discussing advances in various fields of physics and
defining new directions.
The workshop will consist of invited and
contributed talks and a poster session. We will have a
special session "Unsolved mysteries" where workshop
participants present their favorite problem they have
encountered over the years and for which they have not yet
found a satisfactory resolution. A tour of the EBIT
laboratory at
LLNL on the last day of the conference will provide a
window to the current experimental
research effort.
The review
nature of the Workshop represents an ideal occasion for
students wanting to learn about atomic physics and its
applications. We encourage you to bring along interested
students from your institution.
