This conference series has
been continually providing forums for promoting the
interchange of new ideas on the development of advanced
theories and models, as well as the latest experimental
developments. Since nearly four decades
this series, whose topics are continuously evolving,
provides a source of state-of-the-art in
light and shaped beam interactions with particle and
particle systems. The present edition follows the former
Optical Particle Sizing (OPS) and Optical
Particle Characterization (OPC) conferences held
in Rouen
1987; Tempe,
AZ, 1990; Yokohama, 1993; Nürnberg,
1995; Minneapolis,MN,1998; Brighton,
2001; Kyoto,
2004; Graz, 2007 as well as the reformulated LIP
conference, held in Rouen
in 2012; Marseille, 2014; Xi'an 西安市, 2016, College
Station, TX, 2018, and Warsaw
in 2022. (The 13th conference was postponed to
2022 due to the covid-19 pandemic, but the special issue was
maintained! )

Instructions to Authors
-
- Presentations
- Procedure & deadlines
- Submit an abstract
- Special issue papers: JQRST
Three formats are
scheduled for oral presentations (in-person or remote
participation):
- Keynote lectures (invited talks of 40 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions, in-person or remote),
- Regular presentations (20 minutes of presentation plus 5 minutes for questions, in-person or remote)
- Posters (special session with a best poster award, remote only, via the conference website)
For both oral and poster
presentations (in-person or remote), authors are invited
to submit an extended abstract of at least 1000
words and with a maximum of three pages,
including supporting figures and references as
appropriate. As there is necessarily a limited number of
oral presentations, the scientific committee will make the
final decision on the presentation format on the basis of
two independent reviews plus the authors
wish. At least one of the authors is required to register
for the conference and the same person may only present a
maximum of two oral presentations (no limit on the
posters). All selected contributions will be published in
the proceedings of the conference (with ISBN and
color figures).
It is mandatory to use thisMS-Word template (download)
to prepare the extended abstract as there will be no real
typesetting process. Fill also this MS-Excel sheet (download)
to depict the abstract contains, the preferred
presentation format and session, the authors
affiliations,... All these data will be used for the
review process as well to build the conference program and
the list of participants. When ready, send these two files
by email to the conference secretary: contact@lip-conference.org
It is mandatory to use this
- Abstract submission opens ................... May 1st, 2023
- Abstract submission ends...................... April 30th, 2024
- Notification of abstract acceptance........ May 20th, 2024
Simply send by email your
extended abstract (MS-Word file plus a pdf) and the
related information (Excel file) to the conference
secretariat (contact@lip-conference.org)
Following
the highly successful special issues previously
published in the Journal of Quantitative
Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer (JQSRT) [2012, 2014, 2016,
2018, 2020,
2022]
we will solicit papers for a LIP2024
Special Issue that you will want your
state-of-the-art research to become part of yet
another benchmark collection of papers on light
and shaped beam interactions with particles and
particle systems. This Special Issue will consist
only of full-size papers documenting
research either reported at the conference or
pertaining to the main topics of LIP
conferences. Each submission will be
thoroughly reviewed by at least two independent
referees to ensure that all accepted manuscripts satisfy
the highest standards of scientific quality
adopted for JQSRT. To expedite
the communication of your research results to the
scientific community, each paper will be
officially published (including year, volume, and
page numbers) as soon as it has been accepted,
typeset, and proof-read. In other words, the
authors of accepted manuscripts will see their
papers officially published without having to wait
for the rest of the manuscripts to get accepted.
This accelerated publication protocol is a recent
improvement in the JQSRT production process.

About the
city
Xi’an is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the southern part of the Guanzhong Plain. With the Qinling Mountains to the north and the Weihe River to the south, it is in a favorable geographical location surrounded by water and hills. It has a semi-moist monsoon climate and there is a clear distinction between the four seasons. Except the colder winter, any season is relatively suitable for traveling.
Called Chang’an in ancient times, Xi’an is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin area of the country. During Xi’an’s 3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang placed their capitals here. So far, Xi’an enjoys equal fame with Athens, Cairo, and Rome as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals.
Xi'an attractions : The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang), Muslim Quarter, Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta), Shaanxi History Museum, Dayan Pagoda Northern Square, Drum Tower (Gulou), Forest of Stone Steles Museum, Xi'an Bell Tower, Tomb of Emperor Jingdi (Hanyangling), Tang Bo Art Museum, Huaqing Palace, Xi'an Museum, Xi'an Mosque, Tang Paradise, Xi'an Qujiangchi Site Park, Guangren Temple, Small Goose Pagoda, Qing Long Si, Cuihua Mountain read more
