With online streamingSince its discovery in 1958, the Mössbauer effect, recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence of gamma rays, has become a powerful tool in solid-state physics and materials sciences research. Mössbauer spectroscopy based on this nuclear resonance effect is a high-resolution technique used for local characterization of materials with applications to a variety of fields. Up to now, more than 60,000 papers were published worldwide using the Mössbauer technique. Since 1960, many conferences, meetings, workshops, seminars, and symposia on fundamental - as well as industrial - applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy have been held worldwide.
Latin American Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect (LACAME) is a series of scientific meetings held every two years in a Latin American country. By initiative of the Mössbauer community in Brazil, the first LACAME was held in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, 1988).After Brazil, others countries that have successfully organized the LACAME were: Cuba (Havana, 1990), Argentina (Buenos Aires, 1992), Chile (Santiago, 1994), Peru (Cusco, 1996), Colombia (Cartagena de Indias, 1998), Venezuela (Caracas, 2000), Panama (Panama City, 2002), Mexico (Mexico City, 2004), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, 2006), Argentina (La Plata, 2008), Peru (Lima, 2010), Colombia (Medellin, 2012), Mexico (Toluca, 2014), Panama (Panama City, 2016), Chile (Santiago, 2018) and Brazil (Vitória, 2022).LACAME’20 was cancelled due to the Covid19 pandemic. Since the first conference, the biennial LACAME have aimed to promote knowledge and scientific exchange between research groups and science relevant to the needs of Latin American countries.
Despite the limitations, the biennial LACAME have allowed the integration of this Latin American scientific community. However, we look forward to further strengthening these relationships through future new collaborations.
The XVIII Latin American Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect, LACAME 2024, will be hosted by the Physics Sciences Faculty of the Major National University of San Marcos at Lima, Peru, from October 14 to 18, 2024.
You are invited to participate in LACAME 2024.
