GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE on "Photoions, Photoionization & Photodetachment"
January 31 - February 5, 2010
Hotel Galvez
Galveston, TX
Chair:
Albert Stolow
Vice Chair:
Danielle Dowek
Photoionization and photodetachment now play central roles in many emerging
fields of modern atomic, molecular, chemical and optical physics. Examples
include modern x-ray and synchrotron science, chemical reaction dynamics,
high resolution spectroscopy, attosecond science and strong field physics,
spectroscopy/dynamics in complex environments, time-resolved spectroscopies
etc. The tacit theme of this conference is the unification of electron
scattering with spectroscopy, wherein a serious consideration of the
electronic continuum is a central aspect of the science. The aim of this
conference is to bring together researchers from various areas - laser-based
and synchrotron-based, experimentalists and theorists, high energy and
threshold, strong field and weak, physicists and chemists – all of whom
share a deep interest in the “science and technology” of the electronic
continuum.
