CCP6 Workshop Announcement
Molecular Potential Energy Surfaces in Many Dimensions
Aberdeen
30th June - 3rd July 2008
This specialist workshop is sponsored by CCP6 (the UK Collaborative Computational Project No. 6 on Molecular Quantum Dynamics). The workshop will focus on the challenging problems associated with determining, representing and understanding molecular potential energy surfaces in more than three dimensions. Topics covered will include: determination of potential energy surfaces by ab initio methods, from experimental data or by construction from, say, monomer calculations; numerical and analytical representation of surfaces;
choice of coordinate systems; visualisation; applications, especially to the spectroscopy and dynamics of systems exhibiting wide-amplitude motions (including multiple minima and isomerisation); and opportunities offered by new developments in high performance computing.
Invited speakers:
