Workshop papers – 20 years of EBIT

The proceedings of the workshop to celebrate 20 Years of Spectroscopy with EBIT were published in a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Physics (Volume 86, January 2008).

Papers from that conference can be downloaded below.

In addition, we have put together a six-volume, 2700-page Compendium which contains essentially all papers during the first twenty years of EBIT.
