CONFERENCES

The 11th International Conference on Muon Spin Rotation, Relaxation and Resonance will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, 21-25 July 2008. The 2008 conference is being organized by the KEK Muon Science Laboratory, RIKEN Nishina Center, and JAEA Adavanced Science Research Center. The deadline for abstract submission is 11 April 2008. Please visit the µSR08 Website at   http://msr08.riken.jp/ for details.

Every three years (see ISMS Newsletter #1) the ISMS awards a $3000

  ISMS Toshimitsu Yamazaki Prize for µSR Science  

for outstanding, sustained work in µSR science with long-term impact on scientific and/or technical µSR applications. The 2005 prize was awarded to Prof. Yasutomo J. Uemura at a special ceremony session of µSR05, the International Conference on µSR held at Oxford, UK, in August 2005. (See ISMS Newsletter #4 for details.)

Nominations are now open for the 2008 Yamazaki Prize, to be awarded at the International Conference on µSR at Tsukuba, Japan, 21-25 July 2008. The deadline for nominations is 28 February 2008. For details see ISMS Newsletter #6.)


In addition, four

  ISMS Young Researcher Awards  

were given to students or first-time postdocs based on papers submitted to the µSR05 Conference. This tradition will be continued at subsequent µSR Conferences.

To be considered the paper should be accompanied by a statement from the researcher's supervisor saying that the work is primarily that of the potential recipient. Winners receive a monetary reward and Medal. For more details, see the µSR05 Website.


Finally, but first on the µSR05 program schedule, four

  ISMS Lifetime Achievement Awards  

were given to members of the community whose contributions were considered to be meritorious. This tradition is also meant to continue at subsequent µSR Conferences.
