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 2025
The next symposium will be held from 7 – 12 September 2025. On this occasion HIAS 2025 will be organised along the theme of "Nuclear Physics and its Applications".
Abstract submission should be via email to the conference secretary using one of the provided templates.
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
- Nuclear reactions
- Accelerator mass spectrometry
- Nuclear science and society
