EIPAM 07 Scope
EIPAM brings together the leading European research teams working on the interaction between low energy electrons and isolated molecules in the gas phase, in condensates and at surfaces. The aim of this Action is to develop an integrated collaborative research programme to perform systematic investigations of how electron induced processes may be used to manipulate molecular formation and reactions as one makes the transition from isolated particle behavior in a low pressure gas to many body interactions in the condensed phase. Topics range from the basic properties governing low energy electron interaction with molecules to industrial processes and processing techniques based on low energy electron interaction on the molecular level.
Topics
Electron Induced Processes At the Molecular Level.
- Gas Phase (beam, swarm and basic properties)
- Condensed phase (clusters and other condensates)
- Surface (linking to surfaces, electrons from surfaces STM etc)
Scientific program
The conference will include invited lectures, short visit reports and poster presentations. Every session will be opened with a 45 minutes lecture giving an overview of the topic, will continue with a number of 30 min presentations on resent work and conclude with 15 min short visit reports. The time allocated for invited presentations includes 5min the speakers are asked to allow for the discussion. The short visit reports are allocated a total time of 15 min from which the presenter is asked to allow 3 min for discussion.. The poster sessions are planned for late afternoons.
Overhead- and beam-projectors will be provided in all oral sessions. Presenters requiring special equipment such as slide projectors (35mm) and VCR's should indicate these requirements on the abstract form.

Spouse program
Saturday May 26th
Whale watching/Reykjavík by day.
The Bus will leave Hotel Örk 08:00 in the morning to be at the harbor in Reykjavík around 08:45. The whale watching boat will leave the harbor at 09:00 to return around noon (see http://www.whalewatching.is/ ). Pickup will be at the “not to be missed” landmark “Hallgrímskirkja” a 15 min walk from the harbor around 15:30, leaving you a few hours to stroll around the center of Reykjavík.

If you prefer to stay at shore and explore Reykjavík the bus ride alone is 10 Euro.
Monday May 28th
After lunch on the 28th we plan a 2-3 hours guided hike around the hot-spring area in the neighborhood of Hveragerði to boost up the appetite for the conference dinner. Free of charge.
