12th International Workshop
on Positron and Positronium Chemistry
28 August - 1 September 2017, Lublin, Poland
First Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
it is our pleasure to invite you to participate at the 12th International Workshop on Positron and
Positronium Chemistry (PPC12). The conference will be held during 28 August - 1 September 2017 in Lublin
(Poland).
The scope of the meeting is information exchange in the following research disciplines:
 Fundamental aspects of positron and positronium chemistry
(interaction of e+ and Ps with atoms, molecules or solid matter, Ps formation etc.)
 Polymers and soft matter
 Liquids and multiphase systems
 Surfaces, interfaces, membranes and layered structures
 Porous materials, nanostructured and confined systems
 Materials for industrial applications (nuclear, hydrogen energy technology etc.)
 Other non-metallic solids
+
 Biological and medical applications of e and Ps (e.g. Positron Emission Tomography)
 Advances in experimental techniques, including positron beams
The conference venue will be the building of Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, which
is located in the campus of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin.
We invite you, your co-workers and students to registration, which is already open. The next
announcement will be send to the registered participants only.
A School on Positron Studies (SPS) is planned. It is addressed to students, young scientists and researchers
from interdisciplinary areas, who want to learn the basics of the positron techniques and research fields
from experienced lecturers. It will be organized immediately before the conference (26-27 August 2017)
and only if at least 25 participants have declared their willingness to participate using registration form
before 31 January 2017.
