Heavy Ion Accelerator Symposia on Fundamental and Applied Science

The aim of the Heavy Ion Accelerator Symposia on Fundamental and Applied Science (HIAS) is to provide a forum to bring together researchers to discuss the uses and development of Heavy Ion Accelerators. It is intended that participants include, but are not limited to, instrumentation and accelerator experts, national and international researchers, students and potential user communities.

HIAS will normally be held around April or September of each year, and is organised by the Department of Nuclear Physics at The Australian National University, Canberra. Specific focus topics for each symposium are intended to change from year to year, to provide a mix of local, regional and international meetings.

HIAS 2019

The next symposium will be held from 9 – 13 September 2019. On this occasion HIAS 2019 will be organised along the theme of "Applications of Heavy Ions".

Abstract submission should be via email to the conference secretary using one of the provided templates. Registration will be via this website and will open on 3 June 2019.

It is anticipated that proceedings from the symposium will be published by the EPJ Web of conferences, part of The European Physical Journal.These will be accessible for free download, and are indexed by ISI Thomson and Scopus in the conference proceedings category.

Symposia programs normally include overview talks aimed at a wide-spectrum audience, and contributed presentations. Topics are usually focussed around:

• Nuclear structure and reactions
• Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
• Nuclear astrophysics
• Accelerator development and Instrumentation
• Analysis techniques
