There is a general need in the materials science and Positron research community and in the semiconductor and polymer industries to understand the effects of atomic scale defects resulting from irradiation, fatigue, processing, or other causes. Macroscopic properties such as work hardening, radiation damage, electromigration induced failure of current carrying lines and aging of mechanical properties of plastics are determined by the production and migration of vacancy related defects. Current needs require knowledge of both the defect identity and concentration averaged over small distances for many kinds of samples including thin films, small crystals, buried interfaces, small features and the near-surface regions of many materials. Such knowledge is required for the broad range of problems including electromigration in electronic interconnects in the semiconductor industry, polymer properties related to hole volume in the polymer industry and validation of calculations in quantum mechanical and microscopic materials models in basic solid state research. Positrons are very sensitive probes of materials; they seek out defects and yield information via a study of the photons arising from their annihilations with localised electrons. During the last 40 years, positron physics has become one of the emerging and vastly developing areas of research. The positron technique is a non-destructive tool to test the structure of materials that can be conducted by many of the companies and factories that produce any type of materials. It is particularly sensitive to open spaces of very small sizes that cannot be detected by other methods. There is also a medical application namely, Positron Emission Tomography, (PET) that can be used in scanning the brain and other parts of the body. APOSB’2010, the Workshop on Advanced Positron Beam Technology for Material Science, organized by the Positron Laboratory of Nuclear Research Center of Algiers (CRNA), will be held from 15 to 18 March 2010 in Algiers. The purpose of the Workshop is to bring together scientists interested in the development and application of positron beam techniques as a powerful tool for the investigation of condensed matter. APOSB’2010 will also offer an opportunity for the exchange of the latest results and scientific information concerning the positron beam technology, the generation of slow positron beams and their applications.
The Workshop will be organised during 03 days, it includes plenary presentations (invited talks) and poster session. The selected papers will be published in an "International Journal". The Workshop is open to welcome all researchers through the world to visit Algeria. English is the official language of the workshop.

FEED BACKS FROM THE PARTICIPANTS
I have arrived back with no problems.
Thanks again for your warm
hospitality and for organising an excellent Workshop. I really enjoyed my time
in Algiers.
Best regards
Stephen Buckman
I returned to home. Everything is okay. Thanks again for all.
Yours,
Krause-Rehberg, Reinhard
the success of the workshop testifies your qualities as a leader. I want to thank you again for the invitation and the careful hospitality.
Best wishes for your scientific future in Algiers
Alfredo Dupasquier
after a safe flight back and returned to my office, I want to thank you and the
organizing committee again for your warm hospitality and the perfect
organization of the workshop. It was a pleasure for me to take part in the
workshop and give a talk. I hope, the workshop will support your efforts in
building up a positron beam.
Anwand Wolfgang
I would like to express once again my thanks to you and the Organizing Committee of APOSB'2010 for your invitation to attend and give an invited talk at the Workshop on Advanced Positron Beam Technology for Material Science. I really enjoyed the visit, your hospitality, and a very interesting workshop program.
Wishing you all the best,
Nail Fazleev
I also thank you for the invitation to the Workshop. I am grateful for the
opportunity to present our work and for the chance to hear talks on a broad
range of topics from specialists all over the world.
I appreciate very
much your very successful work with the organization of the meeting. I enjoyed
my stay in Algiers.
I wish you all the best for the future and success
with your positron project
