Welcome to CAARI-2014
The organizers would like to welcome you to the 23nd International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry. This conference is being hosted by the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, TX, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in Albuquerque, NM, and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Los Alamos, NM. CAARI 2014 is also being supported by several other U.S. National Laboratories, industries and agencies most identified with accelerator technology. The Conference Co-chairs and the Topic Editors worked with the Session Chairs to develop the sessions and speakers.
This is the 23nd International conference in the biennial series that began in 1968 as a Conference on the Use of Small Accelerators for Teaching and Research by Jerry Duggan, while he was a staff member at Oak Ridge Associated Universities. When Jerry moved to Denton, TX and joined the University of North Texas (UNT), he continued the Conference series in 1974, holding the meeting on the UNT campus. At this time, Jerry invited Lon Morgan to join him as a co-organizer. Lon Morgan brought in the industrial components of CAARI and it became known the International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI). CAARI was held in Denton for 30 years. In 2004, Jerry Duggan asked Floyd “Del” McDaniel and Barney Doyle to be co-organizers of the CAARI Conference Series. In 2004, Barney and Del moved the conference to Fort Worth, Texas, where it was held biennially from 2004-2012. In 2012, Yongqiang Wang and Gary Glass were invited to become co-organizers of CAARI. For the 2014 Conference, we changed the conference dates to May 25-30 and moved the conference venue to the Grand Hyatt Hotel Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.
The CAARI Conference series is unique in that it brings together researchers from all over the world who use particle accelerators in their research and industrial applications. Each year the Topic Areas are reviewed and updated to reflect current research interests. The 2014 CAARI Conference is a collection of symposia for the following Topic Areas:
• Accelerator Technology & Facilities (ATF)
• Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMP)
• Homeland Security & Defense (HSD)
• Ion Beam Analysis (IBA)
• Ion Beam Modifications (IBM)
• Medical Applications (MA)
• Nuclear-Based Analysis (NBA)
• Nuclear Physics (NP)
• NanoScience & Technology (NST)
• Plenary Sessions (PS)
• Radiation Effects (RE)
• Teaching with Accelerators (TA)
In addition to this brief Program Book with titles and presenting authors, the program with complete abstracts may be found at www.CAARI.com.
CAARI 2014 will be held at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Hotel located on the famous San Antonio Riverwalk.

We hope that you enjoy the conference and find it intellectually stimulating. In the schedule, we have provided several opportunities to renew friendships and talk science at this meeting: the Welcome Reception Sunday evening, the socials during each poster session Monday and Tuesday, the Conference outing on Wednesday afternoon, the Banquet on Thursday evening, and the Closing Ceremony on Friday at noon.
If there is anything we can do to make your conference experience and stay in San Antonio, Texas, more enjoyable, just ask Del, Gary, Yong, Barney, Holly, or Carley. We are very happy you have joined us in San Antonio and hope you have a memorable time!
Y our Co-Chairmen, CAARI-2014
