SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

 

This international symposium is one in a continuing biennial series of conferences (the last one was held in 2002 in Going, near Kitzbόhel, Austria)) which seeks to promote the growth of scientific knowledge and effective exchange among scientists in the field of atomic, molecular, cluster and surface physics and related areas. The symposium deals in particular with collisional interaction involving electrons, photons, atoms, molecules, clusters, ions and surfaces.

 

There will be Invited Talks covering the topics of the Symposium.

Contributed papers will be presented in poster sessions. These provide the main forum for presentation of new work and for discussion of recent progress. Each contributed paper will be allocated a poster board of 150 cm (height) x 100 cm (wide). Prior to the official poster sessions there will be introductory sessions which will give the authors  of each contributed paper the opportunity to present orally highlights of their work presented on the poster in one minute (1 to 2 viewgraphs).

A few contributions will be selected for oral presentation as Hot Topics.

It is the aim of this Sympsium to bring scientists together in a relaxed kind of atmosphere who are working in the above mentioned scientific fields and who at the same time enjoy skiing (down-hill, cross-country, snow mountain spectacular views (La Thuile is located under the Mont Blanc), swimming). Thus a typical day schedule of this symposium (with lots of physics and lots of fun in the snow - 150 km of slopes down to La Rosiere in France) will be as follows:

 

 

7:30

Breakfast

Minibuses up to 8, 16 or 30 persons and cars are available. Below are the one-way prices (including tax):

                                   4 persons                    219 EURO

                                   5-8 persons                 246 EURO

 

The shuttle reservations MUST be done at least 3 days ahead of departure.

The private car (minibus) reservation can be done also on short notice.

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 

Departures:

 

People who want to leave La Thuile on Friday February 6, 2004 and need bus transportation to one of the above three airports (Milano, Torino, Geneve) should inform the conference Chairman specifying the flight departing time so that proper transportation can be arranged and booked in advance.

 

 

 

Arrivals:

 

Similarly, people who would like, also at their arrival (on Sunday 1 February or Saturday 31 January) to use this private-car or shuttle transportation service, should inform the conference chairman of their request (arrival time) so that proper booking can be arranged, at the rates indicated above.

Of course, be ready to pay up to 330 EURO from/to Milano, 243 EURO from/to Torino, and 246 from/to Geneve if you want to travel ALONE. Using the shuttle, the cost is much lower, but the actual price will depend on the number of people sharing the minibus. If you are alone and select the minibus, it means that you accept to travel with other passengers that the company eventually will pick up, and you pay from Milano Malpensa 116 EURO for instance. If instead several of you will convey to me the reservation, we can book a minibus for 8 of you for instance and each of you would pay 41 EURO.

Hope it is clear.

At the arrival (Saturday or Sunday) we recommend to use the big buses (less expensive, only 22 EURO per person).
