First Workshop on Experimental Laboratory Astrophysics
Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii, February 25-27, 2013

Contributed talks (30 min) and poster presentations are invited for the
‘First Workshop on Experimental Laboratory Astrophysics’ in Poipu,
Kauai, Hawaii, February 25-27, 2013. During the last decade, significant
new experimental techniques have been developed to investigate the
interaction of ionizing radiation (UV, VUV, gamma rays, charged
particles) and of neutrals (atoms, radicals, molecules, grains) with
surfaces of solids (ices, minerals, carbonaceous compounds) in the Solar
System and in the Interstellar Medium (ISM). These processes provide new
fundamental insights – sometimes on the molecular level - into the
processes that are critical to the chemistry in the ISM, star and planet
forming regions, and on/in icy objects in the Solar System from the
formation of the simplest molecule (molecular hydrogen) to
astrobiologically important species such as amino acids and sugars.
The first workshop features invited (senior and junior researchers) as
well as contributed talks and poster presentations focusing on the
interaction of ionizing radiation (UV, VUV, gamma rays, charged
particles) and neutrals (atoms, radicals, molecules, grains) with low
temperature solids (ices, minerals, organics).
The workshop will take place in the Sheraton Kauai Resort in Poipu,
Kauai, Hawaii, starting with a reception on February 24, 2013, at 6 pm.
The hotel will allocate a block of rooms for workshop participants.
Reservations must be made by December 1, 2012. Group rates are available
three days pre and post group arrival and departure dates. Sheraton
Kauai Resort is a short drive (20 minutes) from the airport (LIH). LIH
can be reached from LAX, SFO, or HNL. The registration deadline is
November 1, 2012. The registration fee of $ 250 includes the reception,
snacks, and a book-of-abstracts. Additional information will be posted
soon.
We are looking forward to seeing you on Kauai.
