IC­ACS & SHIM 2020 — 29th international conference on atomic collisions in solids & 11th international symposium on swift heavy ions in matter

The ICACS29 and SHIM11 conferences will be held in the same venue at the University of Helsinki, Finland, from 19 June to 24 June 2022.

The conference series ICACS deals with physical and chemical phenomena induced by the interaction beams with condensed matter (surface, bulk of solids and liquids). Projectiles include singly and multiply charged ions, atoms and clusters, photons, electrons, positrons, antiprotons, etc. It started in 1965 in Aarhus (Denmark). The most recent meetings have been held in Caen (France 2018) ,Lanzhou (China, 2014), Debrecen (Hungary, 2014), Kyoto (Japan, 2012), Krakow (Poland, 2010) and Phalaborwa (South Africa, 2008).

ICACS focuses on assessment of the state of the art in the current understanding of a variety of basic phenomena. The conference series SHIM brings together the scientists performing the research with high-energy heavy ions in various fields, including radiation effects in solids, atomic physics, plasma physics, radiation biology and medicine, and nanotechnology. The series started in Caen (France) in 1989. The most recent meetings have been held in Caen (France 2018), Darmstadt (Germany, 2015), Kyoto (Japan, 2012) and Lyon (France, 2008). SHIM focuses on basic as well as applied research, including both theoretical and experimental aspects.
