Scope and Purpose

Electron-molecule collisions initiate and drive many chemical reactions relevant in radiation and environmental sciences as well as in plasma processes and many other areas of application (such as novel light sources for research and everyday lighting). Moreover, the life sciences are a rapidly advancing field where the important role of electron-driven reactions is only now beginning to be recognized, for instance strand-breaking in DNA caused by the interaction of electrons at energies significantly below the ionization threshold. On the other hand, the fundamental physics and chemistry of the underlying processes is far from understanding. While a full scale theoretical treatment of the electron-molecule interaction is presently still not possible for polyatomic molecules the situation becomes significantly more complex if the molecule under consideration is coupled to an environment.

The first International Symposium on Low Energy Electron-Molecule Interactions LEEMI 2001 took place at Going (Tirol, Austria).

This symposium – LEEMI 2002 will be similar to the previous one. It has the objective of summarizing the state of the art and identifying the most promising scientific challenges for the investigation of processes initiated and driven by electron-induced mechanisms with particular emphasis in the low energy regime involving dissociative electron attachment (DEA) processes.

Abstracts

Participants are invited to submit abstracts of all contributed papers to be presented at the Symposium. Abstracts, prepared in Word should be submitted electronically as email attachment to pezler@ap.siedlce.pl .

Abstracts should be written in English and not exceed 4 pages for the invited papers and 1 page for posters. The page must be restricted to 15 cm width and 24 cm height, leaving all margins 3 cm. The abstract must include a title, names of all authors and their affiliations.

Detailed rules for the preparation of abstracts - a simple example (WORD file).

The book of abstracts will be distributed to participants at the conference registration desk.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is May 15^th.

Conference Proceedings

All invited papers will be published in the special issue of Nukleonika. (Try not to exceed 10-15 pages) The detailed requirement of the Editor can be find at the web page http://www.ichtj.waw.pl (click on Publications then Nukleonika). All papers should be presented not later than at the Symposium registration desk or send by mail to:

Related Conference

The 2^nd Conference on Elementary Processes in Atomic Systems CEPAS'2002 organized by Technical University of Gdansk will be held from September 2^nd to September 6th, 2002 in Gdansk. For more information visit http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/cepas .

Please inform us if you are going to take a part in CEPAS and we will tell you how to get to Gdansk.

Visas

For a number of countries, a visa may be needed. Please, check with your travel agent or the nearest Polish Consulate. The Letters of Invitation is intended as an aid to obtain visa, so upon request it will be provided.

Medical Insurance

Visitors are not covered by Polish health insurance plans and the conference organizers take no responsibility for any medical cost incurred by participants or accompanying persons. It is recommended therefore that participants take out medical insurance to cover possible health care, dental and ambulance services.

Accommodation

The number of rooms in Chlewiska is limited and it is possible that some participants will be accommodated in Siedlce. The distance is about 15 km and transportation will be provided.

The cost of the Symposium paid by all participants and accompanying persons is 170 Euro (or 600 PLN) before May 15^th and 200 Euro (700 PLN) after May 15^th. It covers everything: accommodation, boarding and social program.

Method of Payment

Payment should be made in Polish zlotys (PLN) or in Euro. It only should be made by bank transfer. Organizers will not accept any charges resulting from money transfer.
