Dear Collegues Urgent remainder The Deadline for the submission of abstracts to be considered as papers is END OF MAY 99 Please send your abstract NOW Royal Society of Chemistry Faraday Division Faraday Discussion 115 Molecular Photoionisation The University of York Department of Chemistry and Alcuin College 3-5 April 2000 The Faraday Discussion page (York) http://rempi.york.ac.uk/rscconf.html The Faraday Discussion page http://www.rsc.org/lap/confs/fadmeet.htm Molecular photoionisation dynamics presents a challenge both from experiment and theory. New insight has come from (i) the invention of ZEKE photoelectron spectroscopy as a very high resolution tool and (ii) theoretical approaches to quantitatively understand the ionisation dynamics. There is an interest in advancing this burgeoning field and very actively studied applications come from van der Waals and hydrogen bonded molecular clusters including intra-cluster reactions, molecular Rydberg states including their time-resolved dynamics and their stability in fields, Multichannel Quantum Defect and scattering theory, Rydberg state tagging, molecular and cluster anion photodetachment, charge transfer, radicals, and correlated two-electron ionisation processes. The discussion is intended to bring together practitioners of the broadest range of photoionisation, photodetachment and charge transfer experiments, spectroscopists, molecular physicists and theoreticians working on angular momentum transfer, scattering theory, electron correlation and non-Born-Oppenheimer effects in Rydberg states, with a view to establishing state-of-the-art applications in chemistry and molecular physics as we move into the new millennium, while focussing on the immediate future prospects of this whole area of research. The introductory Keynote Lecture will be given by Professor B V McKoy (Pasadena). Experimental and theoretical papers will be particularly welcome in all the areas mentioned above. Papers should be concerned with new, unpublished work. Contributions are solicited, and Titles and Abstracts of about 300 words should be submitted no later than FRIDAY 28 MAY 1999 to Professor K Müller-Dethlefs, Department of Chemistry, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD, UK; Fax: +44 (0)1904 434527; e-mail: [log in to unmask] Organising Committee Professor K Müller-Dethlefs (Chair) Professor M Ashfold Professor M S Child FRS Professor R J Donovan Professor J M Dyke Professor F Read FRS Dr T P Softley Faraday Discussions Homepage http://www.rsc.org/lap/confs/fadmeet.htm ___________ View also: The original ZEKE Home page http://rempi.york.ac.uk/ and information about the ERC Highly Excited States The ERC Conference page (York) http://rempi.york.ac.uk/esfconf.html and the programme is at http://rempi.york.ac.uk/esfprog.html The ERC Conference page (note cases of lettering) http://www.esf.org/euresco/PC99137A.HTM -- Professor Klaus Muller-Dethlefs Chair of Physical Chemistry Department of Chemistry The University of York York YO10 5DD United Kingdom Tel: +44 1904 434526 Direct Fax: +44 1904 434527 Secr Tel:+44 1904 432525 Dept Fax: +44 1904 432516
