First announcement
Heavy Ion Accelerator Symposium for Fundamental and Applied Research
8-12 April 2013
Canberra, Australia
This International Symposium is aimed at postgraduate students and researchers who use, or may be interested in using, accelerated ion beams in fundamental and applied research. It will cover the topics of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Astrophysics, Nuclear Reactions and Nuclear Structure. Bringing together experts and the community using accelerated ion beams and developing state-of-the-art instrumentation, this Symposium will provide a forum to build cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary links.
Location
The Symposium will be held on the Australian National University campus, Canberra. The weather in April in Canberra is usually excellent.
Starting and finishing times
The Symposium program will commence at 9 am on the 8 April, and finish on the 12 April.

Limited financial support for student attendees submitting an abstract may be available, please contact the student sponsorship officer.
The number of supported student places is not unlimited. Student support will be allocated in order of abstract receipt, after registrations close.
Scientific program
The program will consist of morning overview talks aimed at a wider audience, and short contributed presentations in dedicated venues for each focus topic in the afternoons.
Symposium topics will include:
- Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
- Nuclear Astrophysics
- Nuclear Reactions
- Nuclear Structure
Proceedings
Refereed proceedings of all oral presentations will be published through EPJ Web of Conferences, and will be accessible for free download to researchers world-wide. This is indexed by ISI Thomson and Scopus, in the conference proceedings category.
Organisers
The Symposium is organized by the Department of Nuclear Physics, ANU.
Sponsors
Industry sponsorship and attendance is welcome. We offer the opportunity to provide information sheets which will be included in the book of abstracts, and to set up an information stand at the location of the lunches and symposium barbeque dinner.
