Program
The International Symposium on Electron (Positron) –
Molecule collisions and Swarms (EMS) is held biennially as a satellite of
the International Conference on Photonic, Electronic, and Atomic Collisions
(ICPEAC) to
promote the growth and exchange of scientific information in the field. The
special emphasis of the present symposium, EMS’03, will be on newer rapidly
growing areas such as electron collisions with biological molecules,
clusters and fullerenes, electron collisions with molecules absorbed on
surfaces, and applications to industrial and fusion plasmas. The EMS’03
International Organizing Committee invites papers on the aforementioned
topics, as well as on the traditional broad field of electron (positron) –
molecule collisions and swarms and their role in low-temperature plasmas,
radiological/environmental applications, and space sciences. |
