Hydrogen Atom III - International Conference on
Precision Physics of Simple Atomic Systems

Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro - BRAZIL - August 01-04/2004

A sattellite conference to the International Conference on Atomic Physics - ICAP'2004

Some details available by now:

TRAVEL to Rio de Janeiro (the international airport is referred as Galeão with abreviation GIG in the reservation systems):
We do not know what should be the flight schedule in a year but we do not expect it will be changed too much from this year. The flights typically arrive in the early morning or in the late afternoon.

We recommend you to arrive early morning on August, 1st and plan to leave only on the 5th and to make your reservation as early as possible, as this is a very busy time for air travel to Brazil.

Please notice a reciprocity policy from Brazil which requires VISA from citizens whose countries require VISA from brazilians, like Russia and the USA, for instance. Please check with your travel agent.

CONFERENCE FEE is estimated to be:

$500 for a four-night stay in a single room
$375 for a four-night stay in a shared double room
$675 (500+175) for a four-night stay with an accompanying person in a double room

It includes: four-night accomodation in Mangaratiba (arriving August, 1 and departing August, 5) with all meals included, as well as the direct conference expenses (coffebreaks, bus from Airport (Augist, 1), bus to Airport (August, 5), book of abstracts, conference book with invited talks, conference dinner and other services). The fee is subject to minor changes which we hope will be a reduction.

CONFERENCE DATE:

The program of August, 1st will be quite reduced: after lunch we are going to have one oral session and poster session.
We adjourne August, 4th with the dinner but expect to carry most people back to Rio on the 5th after breakfast.

TRAVEL TO AIRPORT:

We will pick up participants at Airport of Rio de Janeiro on August, 1 and deliver them to the conference site, about 2 hours away.
For those who will arrive on July, 31 we will help to arrange accomodation for a night in Rio de Janeiro and deliver them to the conference site on August, 1.
We will deliver ICAP participants to our conference site on August, 1.
A limited possibility to reach the conference site on July, 31 is under consideration.
We adjourne August, 4 with the dinner and will deliver participants to Airport on August, 5. A small bus will accomodate a few people leaving the international airport late at night on the 4th.

Participants who will prefer to arrive/leave on other days can take a taxi (2 hours for about $50).

DEADLINES:

(Closed) The preliminary registration must be done by November, 30. Data of this registration will be used for preliminary scheduling of oral presentations and for selections for support.
The registration should be done untill May, 01. Data of this registration will be used for scheduling of oral presentations and for selections for support.
The deadlines for hotel reservations and presentations for camera-ready abstracts will be announced later. Templates are available at the Registration page.

ICAP (Please confirm the latest information at their site):

Deadlines

March, 15 – Early registration deadline
April, 30 – Submission of abstracts for poster section
May, 31 – Pre-conference registration

Start: July, 26 (Monday)
End: July, 30 (Friday)
There will be an overlap, while not official joint session, with the ICAP program, which involves

High precision spectroscopy and fundamental tests
Fundamental symmetries
Exotic atomic systems

and we have arranged that these sessions will take place Thursday and Friday. The overlap in the Organization board of the two conferences will seek to accomodate this mutual interest. Hydrogen III may accept the same poster contribution as ICAP's but not the same oral contribution.

It will be possible to attend only the latter part of ICAP and we will likely be able to arrange for a reduced ICAP registration fee. We note however that ICAP arranged for a number of discounts for travel and accomodation and some of them may not be applied to those who will attend only a part of ICAP.
