SPARC 2012

The SPARC 2012, the 9th International Topical SPARC Workshop, organized by the Stored Particles Atomic Physics Research Collaboration (SPARC), the Stefan Meyer Institute for subatomic Physics, Austrian Academy of Sciences (Vienna, Austria) and the Vienna University of Technology, will be held in Vienna from 26th to 28th of November 2012. 

The three days of the workshop are dedicated to the latest developments concerning the scientific program of the collaboration, the related technical issues as well as the financial and organizational aspects in the light of the newest on going FAIR activities. The main topics to be discussed are: the atomic physics experimental program at storage rings: the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) and CRYRING@ESR issues related to the preparation of Technical Design Reports for the SPARC subprojects as well as new ways to strengthen the collaborative activities between the different SPARC members and to investigate  new possible sources for additional funding.

The SPARC collaboration has been formed to organize atomic physics experiments at (FAIR) - Darmstadt, Germany, and aims to join expertise on atomic physics.

This workshop will review the present status of the scientific, technical and financial issues of the SPARC collaboration and establish the forthcoming activities.
