Dear Colleagues:
The sixth
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy 2010 (LIBS 2010) will be held in
Memphis, Tennessee, USA, September 13-17, 2010 at the Doubletree Hotel in
downtown Memphis
(Double Tree Hotel) and will be organized by Mississippi State University(USA),
ICET in collaboration with many academic, government, and industrial
laboratories, as well as companies engaged in research and development of LIBS. This hotel is located in the downtown area one block from the famous
Beale Street and opposite to AutoZone Park/ Redbirds Baseball stadium. LIBS
2010 continues the tradition of previous LIBS conferences held in 2000
(Pisa, Italy), 2002 (Orlando, USA), 2004 (Malaga, Spain), 2006 (Montreal,
Canada) and 2008 (Berlin, Germany) encompassing all aspects related to
research, development, and applications of laser induced plasma
spectroscopy.
LIBS 2010 will focus on the scientific and commercial developments, as well
as applications of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. It will bring
together experts and young researchers in the field, specialists from
analytical laboratories and engineers from the industry concerned with
applications and instrumental development to examine recent progress and to
define the needs. After introduction by invited speakers, new developments
and results will be presented in oral and poster presentations. To
facilitate scientific exchanges, posters will be displayed during the whole
duration of the symposium. A technical exhibition will present new
developments in LIBS hardware, instrumentation, and related products during
the whole symposium.
Participation of young researchers will be stimulated by a reduction in the
registration fees and the attribution of special young researcher's awards.
The contributions presented at LIBS 2010 will be published in a feature
issue of Applied Optics after peer-review.
A social program for accompanying persons and conference attendees will be
offered including a welcome reception and Cruise dinner in Mississippi
river.
