ASOS-13 — International Symposium on Atomic Structure and Oscillaotor Stengths for astrophysical and fusion plasma reserach

ASOS is a colloquium series which was started in Lund, Sweden (1983), and subsequently held in Toledo, Ohio, USA (1986), Amsterdam, Netherlands (1989), Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA (1992), Meudon, France (1995), Victoria, Canada (1998), Belfast, UK (2001), Madison, Wisconsin, USA (2004), Lund, Sweden (2007), Berkeley, California, USA (2010), Mons, Belgium (2013) and Sao Paulo, Brazil (2016). The purpose of ASOS is to bring together producers and users of atomic (and molecular) data. Atomic physicists who study the structure of atoms and their radiative and collisional properties are invited to describe the latest progress of their discipline, while astrophysicists and laboratory plasma physicists are invited to review their present research interests and the context in which atomic data are needed.

Topics: Atomic lifetime and oscillator strength determination, Hyperfine structure and isotope shifts, Theoretical modeling and computational approaches, Laboratory techniques, High resolution spectroscopy, Trapped ions, Tests of fundamental constants, Highly charged ions, Collisional processes, Atomic databases and related topics, Astrophysical and laboratory plasmas: atomic data needs, Spectroscopic diagnostics of fusion plasmas, Topics in astrophysics including elemental abundance determination, Atomic spectra from HED plasmas and polarization
