Workshop on Advanced Laser and Mass Spectroscopy
ALMAS-1: Innovative Physics Ideas

Dear Colleagues!

A Workshop on advanced nuclear physics from laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry will be held on 19th and 20th October 2006. It will take place at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany.

Objectives and Topics

Aim of the workshop is the presentation and discussion of innovative physics ideas as well as novel experimental methods for new experiments applying laser spectroscopy and mass measurements to be performed on new and upgraded facilities, particularly the future FAIR facility at GSI. The workshop should serve for discussions between theoretical and experimental physicists to identify cases where experiments are highly demanded and of great interest.

Participation and Registration

The workshop will have 8 sessions in two days. Only invited presentations will be given. No abstracts will be requested or will be made available. A collection of slides presented will be made available after the workshop.

Among the speakers who confirmed their participations are J. Äystö, G. Bollen, T. Buervenich, P. Campbell, R. Casten, P. Dendooven, F. Iachello, P.v.Isacker, D. Jakovlev, H.-J. Kluge, D. Lunney, P. Müller, G. Neyens, A. Ozawa, M. Riskin, H. Schatz and P. Walker. A detailed schedule will be given in a second circular.
