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.
News
The selection of Special Reports is now online!
Post-deadline abstract submission is still open.
Do not forget to register!
Note: the post-deadline abstracts will be considered by the Local Organizing Committee and accepted abstracts will appear in the conference Handbook, will be published in the Book of Abstracts, and presented as poster.
Invited speakers have been contacted to provide an abstract of their talk by 15 April 2019. These abstracts will be available on the Conference Website as well as on the Conference Handbook distributed to all the participants.
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.
In Deauville, the ICPEAC scientific program will consist of 5 Plenary Lectures, 63 Progress Reports, 26 Special Reports, and 5 Poster Sessions. Plenary talks are of general interest to all participants. Progress Reports and Special Reports will be arranged in two parallel sessions, and are intended to present recent work in different subfields. In particular, the Special Reports are selected from the submitted abstracts to showcase the most recent developments. Additionally, about 1000 Posters will be presented in five poster sessions, held either during morning or afternoon sessions. The conference language is English.
Broad topics will include, but are not limited to:
Photon impact (weak field)
Photon impact (strong field and attosecond science)
Electron-atom collisions
Electron-molecule collisions
Electron-ion collisions
Collisions involving exotic particles
Ion-atom collisions
Atom-atom and ion-ion collisions
Ion-molecule and atom-molecule collisions
Field assisted collisions
Ultracold atomic and molecular physics
Collisions involving condensed matter
Experimental techniques

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.
