ABOUT ICACSACCOMMODATIONICACS (the International Conference on Atomic Collisions inSolids) is a biannual meeting, which deals with physical andchemical phenomena induced by the interaction of low andhigh energy beams (hyperthermal up to relativisticvelocities) of charged or dressed particles (singly up tohighly charged ions, atoms and clusters, photons, electrons,antiprotons, etc.) with the surface and the bulk of solids andalso liquids. The most recent meetings have been held in
Krakow (Poland, 2010), Phalaborwa (South Africa, 2008),
Berlin (Germany, 2006), Genova (Italy, 2004), Puri (India,2003), Paris (France, 2001), Odense (Denmark, 1999) andBeijing (China, 1997).

Accommodation will need to be arranged by the delegates.
Because October is a tourist season, early booking isstrongly recommended. While a list of recommended hotels
will be posted on the conference website and our agent will
help your booking upon request, we also suggest booking
via a commercial booking service, which often have better
special rates than those that we could negotiate.

TOPICS
The objectives of ICACS-25 are to assess the state of the art
in the current understanding of a variety of basic
phenomena in the electron and atom dynamics such as• charge-exchange processes• collective as well as single-particle excitation andionization• energy loss, scattering and channeling of primaryparticles• electron and photon emission processes• sputtering, erosion and desorption processes• collision induced physical, chemical and biologicalreactions• radiation damage and materials modification

PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
Conference proceedings will be published as a special issueof Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B.

TRAVEL INFORMATIONCONFERENCE VENUEIn the year 794, the Emperor Kanmu founded a new city
named “Heian-Kyo” - Capital of Peace. Ever since theImperial seat remained in Kyoto for more than 1000 years.
This history has left a legacy of tradition and elegancemaking Kyoto a living museum.
The conference will be held at Kyoto University, which islocated on the east side of Kyoto city. For the reasons ofcapacity and accessibility, several hotels at city center are
recommended for the delegates (see the conferencewebsite). The conference venue and these hotels areconnected by public transportation.

CLIMATE
Climate on October in Kyoto is quite pleasant with somechance of rain. The average temperature during the periodof the conference varies from 11°C (52°F) at night to 21°C
(70°F) during the day.

Kansai International Airport (KIX) is the nearest
international airport to Kyoto and is well connected tomajor airports in Europe, North America and Asia. From KIX,Limited Express trains (Haruka), airport limousines or shareride taxi provide quick and easy transportation to Kyoto.
From Tokyo's Narita Airport (NRT), domestic flight to Osaka
area or "Shinkansen" bullet train is available to reach.

PARALLEL EVENTICACS-25 will be held in conjunction with another particlesolid interaction conference, namely Swift Heavy Ions inMatter, SHIM2012. ICACS-25 and SHIM2012 will be held in acompact series in the same venue with an overlap of twodays (Wednesday and Thursday). We will have several joint
sessions (oral and poster) and joint social events as well.
SHIM2012 will continue till Saturday, October 27th, 2012.
The delegates may attend all sessions of SHIM2012 without
any additional fee.
