First Annoucement
of
Gordon Conference on Atomic and Molecular Interactions
The Gordon Conference on Atomic and Molecular Interactions will be held on Sunday, July 11, 2004 to Friday, July 16, at Colby Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. The meeting returns to the venue of the 2000 and earlier editions. The
program will feature 29 invited presentations in four morning and five evening sessions. The invited speakers, session chairs, and session titles are at the end of this email. There will be poster sessions of contributed presentations after four of
the evening sessions.
The conference will discuss work covering a broad range of topics including reactive and nonreactive processes, intermolecular and intramolecular energy transfer, and photodissociation and unimolecular processes. Gas phase studies, van der Waals
and cluster studies, interactions at low temperatures, and gas/surface studies will all be included. Each session will have as a continuing focus the underlying molecular interactions responsible for the phenomena.
Colby Sawyer College is located in west central New Hampshire, in the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region. There are opportunities for hiking, biking, golfing, and tennis near the campus. Details about the conference site can be obtained at:
