ICAMDATA 2012

ICAMDATA 2012 continues the series of international conferences since 1997 that promotes the use of atomic and molecular data in various fields of science and technology, and provides a forum for interaction of producers and users of such data. The conference will focus on the following topics:

I. Applications of and needs for atomic and molecular data:

• Astrophysics and atmospheric physics
• Magnetic and inertial fusion
• Laboratory and industrial plasmas
• Lighting science and technology
• Biomedicine and biophysics
• Combustion and environmental sciences and technology
• Surface physics, gaseous electronics, solid state optics and spectroscopy, optoelectronics, etc.

II. Atomic and molecular data collections, assessment and dissemination:

• Data collection and selection, critical evaluation, estimate of uncertainties
• Databases, data exchange and dissemination
• Data center activities, standardization of data formats

III. Experimental and theoretical atomic and molecular data generation:

• Atomic and molecular structure and spectroscopy
• Electron and photon collisions with atoms and molecules
• Heavy particle collisions
• Particle - surface interactions

The scientific program will include invited talks, a panel discussion, and posters. Both experimental and theoretical contributions will be welcome.
