Conference topics: Coherent scattering of relativistic charged particles in matter Radiation of relativistic charged particles in periodic structures (coherent bremsstrahlung, channeling radiation, resonant transition radiation, diffraction radiation, parametric x-ray radiation, LPM effect) Crystal channeling, volume capture and crystal reflection of positive ions: theory and experiments; crystal assisted collimation in hadron colliders Channeling of radiations in capillary systems (micro- and nano-channeling, nanotubes, nanoporous) Novel types of sources for electromagnetic radiation (FEL, Thomson scattering, laser plasma acceleration) Advances in x-ray and neutron optics (capillary/polycapillary optics, compound refractive optics, micro- and nanofocusing, waveguides) Applications of channeling phenomena (beams deflection, positron sources, powerful radiation sources, novel x-ray table-top instruments)

Channeling 2012 will collect, together with historical and present status lectures by the experts in channeling physics, presentations on new large projects as well as various international collaborations devoted to the studies within the main conference topics. This edition will be extended by couple of dedicated sessions on advanced x-ray optics and accelerator techniques. Invited Speakers (confirmed): X.
