ISSPMS'20045th International School and Symposium on Physics in Materials Science – Application of nuclear methods in multi-modality diagnostics and radioecology, studies of large molecules, bio–compatible materials and surface modification. Time & location:19 – 25 September 2004, Organizer:Institute of Atomic Energy, Swierk, Poland Supported by:
Objectives:Nuclear methods, originally developed for basic investigations of fundamental properties of matter, are now being applied in many areas of profound interest to practical services in contemporary civilization. Such services are increasingly becoming indispensable. Some exotic particles and radiations, which at the time of their discovery had to be produced and monitored with the utmost effort, are now more intense and better detected, becoming available to scientists and engineers in quite distant fields. The accompanying development in computer technology and data processing capability offers new opportunities of applying nuclear methods in areas as distant as health care, biotechnology, material sciences or ecology. Properties of materials can be studied, statically or dynamically (in real time) and modified by radiation. Biological and technological processes can also be monitored and diagnosed without their interruption or modification. Thus, extremely powerful methods and instruments have emerged, applicable in diagnostics, sterilization and health care in medicine, modification of material properties by radiation, visualization of biological and technical processes in real time, reduction of industrial pollution, or surface upgrading of mechanical parts. These methods also extend the range of physical, chemical and biological investigations into the internal structure of complex molecules – the original task of basic sciences. The commercial and entrepreneurial aspects of this newly emerging technology should not be overlooked, either. The basic aim of our School and Symposium is to provide its attendants with a cross–disciplinary environment. We wish to gather together nuclear and solid–state physicists, physicians, chemists, biologists, and material science engineers, offering them a series of well–chosen topics and lectures given by scientists of international reputation. We expect the meeting to provide an opportunity of exchanging experience and ideas on modern developments of special merit. As was the case of the previous four ISSPMSs, we hope that our meeting in Jaszowiec will again offer a bridge between modern nuclear physics and techniques and their current or future users over a broad range of disciplines.

Please display this information on green paper at your info boards, make it available to your colleagues as well! We look forward to seeing you at ISSPMS'2004. February, 2004 AbstractsOne page abstract (in English, according to the attached form abstract_isspms.pdf ) for the Invited Lectures and SRC's should be sent by e-mail to the School Secretary before 22nd May, to be presented to participants in ISSPMS'2004 Abstract Book. ProceedingsThe School Proceedings will be published in Acta Physica Polonica. Manuscripts, in duplicate, must be ready by the time the School starts. Accommodation and social programAccommodation has been arranged in two-bed rooms at Gwarek hotel in Jaszowiec. A social program for participants and accompanying persons will be organized in association with the School, taking advantage of the beautiful mountain environs. Registration and feesThe fee covers accommodation, ISSPMS'2004 program, Abstract Book, School Proceedings, get–together party, coffee breaks, sightseeing excursion, transportation from Bielsko-Biala (railway station) to Jaszowiec and from the School venue to Bielsko-Biala at the end of the conference. PaymentsThe fee for active participants is 1300 PLN / 300 EUR, for accompanying person – 750 PLN / 175 EUR. For people who want to pay in EUR: in favour of ‘Instytut Energii Atomowej', at your earliest convenience before August 1st. Please ensure that the symbol "ISSPMS'2004" and the name(s) of Participant(s) are quoted on transfer documents. Payment must be free of bank charges to the receiver. If paid in cash at your arrival to Jaszowiec, the cost will be 10% higher. A limited number of scholarships for participants will be awarded to young (<30) scientists – authors of some accepted contributions, and to students. TravelParticipants should make their own arrangements for the travel to Poland. We advice you the use of the http://bahn.hafas.de/bin/query.exe/en
Website for planning train connections. The nearest (400 m) railway station in Jaszowiec is called 'Ustron Polana'. Deadlines
