225th National ACS Meeting
The use of vacuum
ultraviolet probes of reaction dynamics, photoionization dynamics and molecular
spectroscopy is in an exciting stage of growth. These advances in experimental techniques are being fueled
by parallel rapid development of VUV light sources. The latter includes
powerful tunable VUV/XUV laser sources, advances in VUV excimer laser
technology, and the development of third and fourth generation synchrotron
sources and in their growing application to fundamental problems in gas phase
reaction dynamics and spectroscopy.
The goal of this Symposium is to bring together these various
communities to foster further advances.
The Symposium will feature thirty-seven invited speakers in nine
sessions running the full duration of the ACS Meeting. Contributed submissions
for poster or oral presentation are welcome. The deadline for abstract
submission is midnight (Eastern time) November 1, 2002, and all abstracts should be
submitted via the ACS web site at this location:
http://oasys.acs.org/acs/225nm/phys/papers/
Information and guidance on abstract submission is available at:

The meeting will feature the following sessions and invited
speakers, but the order of the sessions and scheduling of speakes is yet to be
determined.
