The 7th International Conference on Hard X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) will be held September 11–15, 2017, in Berkeley, California, USA. Co-chairs are Charles Fadley of the University of California, Davis, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA; Zahid Hussain of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA; and Piero A. Pianetta of Stanford University/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, USA.

HAXPES brings together researchers from a variety of fields, from fundamental condensed matter and atomic and molecular physics to more applied surface and interface studies of catalysis, energy and IT device- and process development, and environmental research. HAXPES involves photon energies in the multi-keV range above ∼2 keV, but the conference also encourages presentations involving complementary photoemission measurements at lower energies, as well as other x-ray-based techniques.

The conference features a single session of oral presentations and three poster sessions. The five plenary speakers are Michael Bedzyk of Northwestern University, USA; Hendrik Bluhm of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA; Ralph Claessen of the Julius-Maxi-milians-Universität Würzburg, Germany; Tien-Lin Lee of Diamond Light Source, United Kingdom; and Maria Novella Piancastelli of Uppsala University, Sweden. There are 18 additional invited speakers.

The abstract submission deadline is June 15. More information can be accessed from the conference website at https://sites.google.com/a/lbl.gov/haxpes2017 or by email at [email protected].
