Welcome

We have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the XXXIst International Conference on Photonic, Electronic, and Atomic Collisions to be held in the attractive region of Normandy, France, on July 23-30, 2019.

Thanks to an exciting scientific program at the forefront of research on photonic, atomic, molecular, and electronic collisions, including ultracold matter, attosecond science, and relativistic plasmas we expect to bring together over 700 scientists from all over the world at ICPEAC 2019.

15 French institutes, belonging to CNRS and various universities or institutions, and located all over the country, are involved in the organization of ICPEAC 2019, of its tutorials, and some of its satellite meetings.

The main conference will take place at the Centre International de Deauville, in the waterfront area of Deauville downtown.

The tutorials will be held in the nearby city of Caen with 1000 years of history.

We look forward to welcoming you there!

The City of Deauville

Deauville is a delightful resort, regarded as the “Queen of the Norman beaches”, linking the sea and the countryside. Deauville experiences include walking along the Boardwalk beside the sea, discovering Deauville architecture which combines the extravagance of the French Second Empire with the golden-age of Anglo-Norman style, sailing on the estuary that inspired the painter Dufy, witnessing the spectacle of a horse-race and tasting the excellent local specialities.

Deauville offers the possibility to visit unique cultural heritage: the Mont-Saint-Michel, Étretat, Honfleur and its old harbor, Trouville and its little fishing port, the D-Day landing beaches, the Pays d’Auge, its orchards, distilleries and stud farms, Bayeux and its famous tapestry, Caen memorial, etc.

The City of Caen

Caen is one of the most important cities of Normandy. The home town of William the Conqueror, hero of the Battle of Hastings of 1066, Caen was vital for D-Day and the Normandy Landings in World War II.

The city has wonderful and varied religious and architectural heritage, as well as a much appreciated gastronomy offering.

Program

Scope

ICPEAC is...

... a conference held every two years on four continents, which gathers 500 to 800 participants at each edition.

The conference brings together world's leading scientists who are actively working in the field of collisions involving photons, electrons, ions, atoms, molecules, clusters, surfaces, and exotic particles. The latest advances of the domain will be presented, such as ultrafast dynamics at the femto- or attosecond scale, ion-induced radiation damage in particular of biomolecules, atomic spectroscopy and molecular physics of antimatter, free electron lasers, particle acceleration generated by high-power lasers, or ultracold collisions.


Since 1995, ICPEAC around the World was in

Numbers indicate the participant's attendance.



The program will start with three Tutorial Lectures that will be held on the downtown Campus of the University of Caen Normandy.

Getting there

The tutorials will be hosted by the University of Caen Normandy on 23 July 2019

The University of Caen Normandy (UNICAEN) is a member of Normandie Université, a research and higher education cluster, gathering the universities of Caen, Rouen, Le Havre and the engineering schools of Caen (ENSICAEN) and Rouen (INSA).

It has about 30 000 students, and more than 2 000 researchers working in 46 research units. Its exceptional scientific environment includes the GANIL facility (Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds), the largest heavy-ion accelerator in France where researchers from around the world perform their experiments.

The downtown campus of the University of Caen Normandy is thus particularly suited to host the TUTORIALS of ICPEAC, which will be opened and free of charge for Master and PhD students as well as Postdocs coming from all over the world. Note that these tutorials will be accessible to anyone who is interested.

More detailed information about accommodation (list of hotels and apartments, booking) is available here.

Abstracts and Proceedings

The abstracts of invited talks (Tutorials, Plenary Lectures and Progress Reports), will be accessible in electronic version from the Book of Abstracts that will be posted on the Conference Website. They will also be published in the Conference Handbook distributed to the participants.

All speakers are invited to submit a paper that will be published in a regular issue of IOP Journal of Physics.

The Tutorial lectures will be published in Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, and specific instructions will be sent by email.

The Plenary Talks, Progress Reports and Special Reports, will be published in a regular issue of Journal of Physics: Conference Series, an online open-access journal that is freely available without restriction (see the ICPEAC 2017 JPCS Proceedings). Guidelines concerning the preparation and the submission of the manuscript files (page limits, styles, etc.) are available here.

All the invited papers should be submitted in electronic version (PDF format) before July 23, 2019 to the e-mail address proceedings@icpeac2019.fr.

In addition, two hardcopies of the manuscript have to be submitted at the registration desk of the conference.

Regular Abstracts, that have been submitted by 10 March 2019 (extended deadline) , will be reviewed by the ICPEAC Committees in April in order :

  • to be published on line as part of the Conference Proceedings in Journal of Physics: Conference Series unless authors have declined this publication
  • to be selected as Special Report to highlight the most recent developments. 26 Hot Topic Talks will be added to the Scientific Conference Program and the synopsis of those selected abstracts will appear in the Conference Handbook.

Post-deadline abstracts, submitted before 15 June 2019 have been reviewed by the Local Organizing Committee.

All accepted abstracts (Regular and Post-deadline) will be accessible in electronic version from the Conference Website and will appear in the Book of Abstracts. The list of all accepted regular abstracts will be published in the Conference Handbook.

Post-post deadline abstracts can still be sent to the Local Organizing Committee. Provided acceptance and available poster boards during the poster sessions, they could be displayed during the conference. They will neither appear in the Book of Abstracts nor in the Conference Handbook. Nevertheless and addendum will be printed and distributed to the ICPEAC 2019 participants.

Detailed instructions on post-post-deadline abstract preparation and submission can be found here.

Support policy

Financial Support Policy

Our general policy is to primarily help young researchers and students to attend the conference.

Limited funds will be certainly also available to support participants presenting invited talks or contributed posters. Participants from developing regions will be considered on our list of priorities.

Detailed instructions are available now to apply for a grant for Young Scientists, and for financial support for participants. The deadline to send those applications has been extended to 10 March 2019.

Prizes

Two prestigious prizes for young scientists will be awarded at the XXXI ICPEAC in Deauville:

  • The IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics,

    • The IUPAP Young Scientist Prize (YSP) of the IUPAP C15 Committee is granted to nominees, with not more than 8 years research experience (excluding career interruption) following the PhD, who have made original and outstanding contributions to the field of AMO Physics. Next July, during the XXXI ICPEAC, the 2019 YSP will be awarded to Andreas Mooser, from the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics & CERN and Christian Smorra, from CERN.

    Andreas Mooser and Christian Smorra have both been selected for their outstanding contribution to determine the most precise comparison of the proton-to-antiproton charge-to-mass ratios and the most precise comparison of the proton and antiproton magnetic moments, constituting two different world-record tests of the fundamental charge, parity, and time reversal symmetry in these systems. They will give a Plenary talk at the conference on those aspects in the morning of Monday July 29.

  • The Sheldon Datz Prize for an Outstanding Young Scientist attending ICPEAC.

    • The Sheldon Datz prize supports an outstanding young researcher to attend ICPEAC. Next July, during the XXXI ICPEAC, it will be awarded to Vincent Lemelin, from the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Radiobiology, Sherbrooke University, Canada.

    Vincent Lemelin, a PhD student in the group of Prof. Léon Sanche, has been selected by the ICPEAC officers for his work on the comprehension of radiation energy deposition in biological materials. He will present a Special Report at the conference on his measurements on low-energy electron scattering from DNA constituents, during the parallel session scheduled on Thursday July 25 in the morning.


In addition, a Poster Prize for each of the five Poster Sessions will be awarded just after a Plenary Session.
