The interaction of particles and photons with solid surfaces is interdisci- plinary in character, so that very recent developments in solid-state phys- ics, surface physics and atomic physics stimulate progress in the field or profit from results of the "ion-solid" community. Technical interest in the field ranges from catalysis and semiconductor manufacturing to fusion re- search, for instance by surface analytical techniques, or interest in phenom- ena such as sputtering and radiation damage. The Third International Workshop on Inelastic Ion-Surface Coll isions, held at...
