Scientists who are using ion beams in the energy range of eV to several GeV with the purpose of material analysis and modification meet at this annual national workshop. The scope is quite broad - from the development of new nuclear analytics to the discovery of new phenomena of self-organisation.
The workshop is generally aimed to highlight the present situation of national ion beam research and to promote cooperation between different research institutes. This year, we intend to have some invited lectures from international experts to put German ion beam physics in perspective on an international scale and to broaden collaborations beyond national borders.

Conference Topics:
Material analysis and modification by ion beams
o Nanostructures
o Ion Applications
o Ion Beam Analysis
o Swift Heavy Ions

Program:
Apart from some invited lectures by international experts, who will amongst others celebrate one of our ageless researchers, Wolfhard Möller, you have defined the scientific program by submitting your contributions!
