FIRST CIRCULAR(modified at 9th August)Welcome to the EMIS 2012
The conference EMIS 2012 is organized as no.16 in a series of international conferences whichstarted in Harwell 1955 and concentrated mainly on the use of electromagnetic separators and related
developments for scientific applications in atomic, nuclear and solid state physics, medical andnuclear engineering. Target and ion source techniques and isotope separation have been central
topics in the EMIS conferences. For a few decades, growths and developments of radioactive isotope
beam accelerator-facilities in Europe, North America and Asia have highly demanded international
discussions and exchanges on new results and techniques to further promote the field. The EMIS
2012, now ranked as an IUPAP conference, has coherently combined these two aspects, spirits of thetraditional EMIS and initiatives for radioactive isotope beams facilities (RNB) to become a flag-ship
conference in these fields. This conference is organized under collaboration with Japan and China.
Hiroyoshi Sakurai (RIKEN/UT), Hiroari Miyatake (KEK) and GuoQing Xiao (IMP)TOPICSTopics covered by the EMIS2012 are given as1) On and off-line mass separation
2) Preparation of energetic radioactive beams
3) Target techniques and ion sources
4) Techniques related to high-power beams5) Ion guides and gas jets
6) In-flight separators and storage rings
7) Ion optics and spectrometer
8) Mass spectrometry9) Traps and laser techniques
