ABSTRACT
The funding from this grant will be used to support students and postdocs so they can attend the 2012 Multiphoton Processes Gordon Research Conference (the 16th in a series of biennial conferences), which will be held June 3-8, 2012 at the Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA. This international conference is well-established, yet continuing advances in atomic, molecular, optical, and chemical (AMOC) science and related technology preserve its vibrancy. The 2012 meeting is structured around contributed posters and 8 sessions of invited talks that will focus on topics at the forefront of AMOC science including: High Harmonic Spectroscopy; Attosecond Electron Dynamics; ATI and Photoelectrons; Strong Field Processes and Sources; Photoionization delay; X-Ray Imaging; and Free-Electron Laser Experiment and Theory. The broad range of expertise and perspectives among attendees provides a unique and stimulating environment for the development of new ideas in these rapidly evolving areas.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The Gordon Research Conference on MULTIPHOTON PROCESSES was held at Mount Holyoke
College, South Hadley, Massachusetts, June 3 - 8, 2012.
The Conference was well-attended with 121 participants (attendees list
attached). The attendees represented the spectrum of endeavor in this field
coming from academia, industry, and government laboratories, both U.S.
and foreign scientists, senior researchers, young investigators, and students. Of
the 121 attendees, 23 voluntarily responded to a general inquiry regarding
ethnicity which appears on our registration forms. Of the 23 respondents, 21%
were Minorities – 4% Hispanic, 17% Asian and 0% African American. Approximately
20% of the participants at the 2012 meeting were women.
In designing the
formal speakers program, emphasis was placed on current unpublished research
and discussion of the future target areas in this field. There was a conscious
effort to stimulate lively discussion about the key issues in the field today.
Time for formal presentations was limited in the interest of group discussions.
In order that more scientists could communicate their most recent results,
poster presentation time was scheduled. Attached is a copy of the formal
schedule and speaker program and the poster program. In addition to these
formal interactions, "free time" was scheduled to allow informal
discussions. Such discussions are fostering new collaborations and joint
efforts in the field.
Thank you for your support of this Conference. As you
know, in the interest of promoting the presentation of unpublished and
frontier-breaking research, Gordon Research Conferences does not permit
publication of meeting proceedings.
