Scope and Mission

The International Symposium on Ion-Atom Collisions ISIAC is a biennial satellite of the International Conference on Photonic, Electronic and Atomic Collisions (ICPEAC). This year the ICPEAC XXXIII will be held shortly after the ISIAC in Ottawa, Canada.

The ISIAC brings together world-leading experts in the field of atomic collision physics involving heavy projectiles (ions). The scope includes the following topics:

  • Fundamental processes in ion-atom and ion-molecule collisions
  • Ion-surface and ion-solid interactions
  • Fragmentation of molecules and clusters
  • Ion-biomolecule interactions
  • Laser-assisted collisions
  • Atomic collision processes
  • New developments, techniques and instrumentation
  • Applications, including hadron therapy

Previous ISIAC meetings were held in Cluj/online (2021), Paris (2019), Palm Cove (2017), Barcelona (2015), Beijing (2013), Caen (2011), Norfolk (2009), Agios Nikolaos (2007), Rio de Janeiro (2005), …
