The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss the current status of the SPARC collaboration, facilities and the related instrumentation. In addition, the workshop aims to provide a forum for the SPARC community for the presentation and discussion of all aspects of atomic physics with highly-charged ions and related fields. The workshop will cover the following topics:
  • Atomic Collisions with Highly Charged Ions
  • Critical and Super-critical Fields
  • Laser and X-ray Spectroscopy
  • Cross-link between Atomic and Nuclear Physics
  • CRYRING: Status and Instrumentation
  • HESR: Status and Instrumentation
  • HITRAP: Status and Instrumentation
  • APPA cave: Experiments and Instrumentation

The scientific program will consist of review talks, contributed talks and a poster session. Besides the experts in the field we encourage in particular young scientists to join the conference and to present their results.

The registration is open and can be done via the workshop webpage:
