Post deadline contribution (Poster) can be accepted by July 31.

2013/7/16
New announcement on preschool: A half-day pre-school will be organized in August 8, a day before the conference starts. The USM2013 conference covers broad science topics spanning over many areas. The lectures given in the preschool will be introductory tutorials for those topics related with ultra-slow muons. It starts from introduction of muSR by Dr Higemoto, followed by theoretical connections by Prof. Kishine, and connection to fundamental physics by Prof. Matsuda. Lectures will be given in English. The lectures and time table can be found at [url address to the program page to be inserted here]. All conference participants are welcome to join the school.

2013/7/9
Guideline for proceedings submission is revised.
Proceedings submission deadline is 26 August, 2013.

2013/7/9
Time Table of the USM2013 is uploaded.
Details of the program will be uploaded later.

Scope

USM2013 will provide a forum for academic and industrial leaders, both current and tomorrow, to discuss and exchange their findings and ideas to develop a new methodology using a Ultra Slow Muon Microscope, which contributes to exploring great diverse phenomena and to designing new materials. The Ultra Slow Muon Microscope consists of two novel muon sources: a Ultra Slow Muon for depth profiling from a surface with nanometer resolution and a micro beam for probing inside of a material with resolution of several micrometer. A new spatial imaging method would be a creative tool to explore near surface and interfaces, which plays a key role in material and life sciences. In order to realize this, participation from a variety of research fields so far unfamiliar with muon probe are invited.

Topics

• Ultra Slow Muon Production： Production target & Beam technology
• Laser Development & Application
• Fundamental Physics
• Materials Research： Magnetism, Superconductivity
• Spin & Ion Current in Spintronics & Battery
• Chemistry: Catalytic & Chemical Reactions
• Surface/Interface Science and Nanotechnology
• Bio & Soft Materials
• Hydrogen Science
