Book of Abstracts, 22nd International Conference on Ion Beam Analysis

On behalf of the local organizing committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 22nd International Conference on Ion Beam Analysis. Twenty-two IBA conferences and 42 years since the first one has been organized in 1973 is by itself quite a success. And in spite of that long time period, the IBA flag representing all the countries that previously organized this conference is just like new. Fortunately this also applies to the field of our research, showing how ion beams are still a unique tool in many different application areas from materials to biomedicine, from environment to cultural heritage and others. This 22nd IBA conference is being organized by Ruđer Bošković Institute, the largest research institute in Croatia, that celebrates this year its 65th anniversary. Organization would not be possible without generous supports from the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, International Atomic Energy Agency and from many sponsors and exhibitors. In the past the content of the IBA conferences opened an enormous market for users of ion beam accelerators and associated analysis techniques. With more than 230 participants, IBA 2015 is on a good track to continue to do so. This year we have accepted more than 330 abstracts from 42 countries, which will be presented in 22 oral and 2 poster sessions. We are grateful to welcome 6 plenary and 11 invited speakers as well. Scientific sessions will cover all important aspects of the ion beam analysis, from fundamentals of ion- solid interactions, computer programs and simulations, new experimental developments and applications of IBA in different research areas. Conference includes also micro and nanoprobes, accelerator mass spectrometry, complementary techniques as well as related materials modification subjects. On Monday, after Poster session 1, a panel organized by the IAEA on Ion Beam Techniques Roadmap will be held. Peer reviewed papers of the presentations given at the conference will be traditionally published in a special volume of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B. For the second time, with the help from Elsevier, prizes for the best manuscript written by doctoral students and young scientists will be awarded during the conference banquet. IBA 2015 will be held in Opatija, one of the oldest tourist resorts on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Built mainly at the turn of the 20th century with well-maintained public gardens, the illuminated 12-km-long coastal promenade known as the "Lungomare", Opatija has remained in complete harmony with nature until the present days, so we believe that you will enjoy your stay not only because of the rich scientific program. The social program will include conference outing to the Istrian peninsula where visit to the charming little town of Motovun, views at the Roman monuments in Pula and tasting local food will be an excellent opportunity to spend enjoyable moments with colleagues and friends. Some of them we have met already on previous IBA conferences, some of them we will meet for the first time here in Opatija. Finally, we hope that you will enjoy the conference and all that Opatija can offer.
