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.
