【Important announcement】
Warning about phishing attacks:
The LOC warns all participants about a recent intense wave of attacks to participants of scientific conferences. Modern methods are used to automatically gather information from conference websites, and the participants are then contacted by fake travel agencies, account-related emails, fraudulent emails about conference payment and more. Please check the email address when receiving such mails. In case of the SMI-2027, only the LOC will send emails to the participants. We do not request accommodation support from any company.
【Overview】
The 15th edition of the "International Conference on Stopping and Manipulation of Ions and related Topic (SMI-2027)" will be held in Kumamoto, Japan.
The conference series started in Konnevesi, Finland, in 1986. Since then, the meetings have been organized in the following places: Pelussin, France (1988), Belgium (1990), Rydzyna, Poland (1992), Japan (1995), Dubna, Russia (1997), Mainz, Germany (1999), Chicago, USA (2001), Groningen, The Netherlands (2006), Stanford (Palo Alto), California, USA (2010), Jyväskylä, Finland (2013), Lanzhou, China (2016), Montreal, Canada (2019) and Gießen, Germany (2023).
The SMI-2027 focuses on techniques related to the stopping and thermalization of energetic ions in noble gases, and the manipulation of ion beams, with particular emphasis on research involving unstable nuclides. Topics include the ion-guide isotope separation on-line (IGISOL) technique, the use of large-volume helium-filled gas cells to thermalize radioactive ion beams, laser ionization in gas cells and helium jets, radio-frequency multipole devices, and multi-reflection time-of-flight spectrometers for beam purification and analysis. The workshop provides a forum for presentations and discussions on methods to produce clean, cooled, low-energy beams and their subsequent applications. The SMI-2027 aims to present the current status of the field and offer guidance for future developments.
