Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a focus session on the Photophysics of Cold
Molecules at the American Physical Society meeting in New Orleans,
March 10-14, 2008 with the following agenda:
“The chemical physics of cold molecules is an area of intense current
interest; the subject ranges from one in which molecular
spectroscopy is accomplished in liquid helium droplets to the search
for quantum effects in other fluids, and the study of Bose-Einstein
condensation for molecular species produced and/or cooled by optical
and also deceleration techniques. These various subjects will be
discussed in this focus session.”
A list of invited speaker and their titles is attached. Further
details can be found at the symposium website:
http://www.cold-molecules.info/APS2008
We want to encourage you and your colleagues to submit contributed
talks, which are of 12 minutes in length, or poster presentations.
The abstracts should be submitted by November 27, 2007 via the APS
web site:
http://www.aps.org/meetings/march/abstracts.cfm
The focus session is installed as section number 11.8.6.
"Photophysics of Cold Molecules"
Please forward this email as you find appropriate. We apologize for
any double postings you might receive.
We are looking forward to seeing you in New Orleans soon,
Andrey and Jochen
