Atomic and Molecular Interactions (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

July 14 - 15, 2012
Chairs Amanda S. Case and Julia H. Lehman
Stonehill College
320 Washington Street
Easton, Massachusetts, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Atomic & Molecular Interactions is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The theme of this meeting, in keeping with the tradition of the Atomic and Molecular Interactions Gordon Research Conference, is far-reaching and involves fundamental research in the gas and condensed phases along with application of these ideas to practical chemical fields. The oral presentations, which will contain a combination of both experiment and theory, will focus on four broad categories:

  • Ultrafast Phenomena
  • Excited States, Photoelectrons, and Photoions
  • Chemical Reaction Dynamics
  • Biomolecules and Clusters

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Atomic and Molecular Interactions" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
