U.S.-Argentina Cooperative Research: Seminar on Atomic Collisions; Rosario, Argentina

9722495阅读美洲计划奖将部分资助8名美国研究人员、1名博士后科学家和1名本科生参加1997年3月在阿根廷罗萨里奥举行的拉丁美洲原子碰撞联合研讨会。组织者是德克萨斯州农工大学的约翰·雷丁博士，与阿根廷罗萨里奥国立大学的罗伯托·里瓦罗拉博士合作。研讨会将集中讨论该领域的最新发展和未来研究方向。该计划的中心目标将是确定美国和拉丁美洲物理学家共同感兴趣的问题，以便描绘出最近的进展，如使用存储环和陷阱、相对论碰撞、生物应用等，可以用来推进新的科学。重点将放在正在启动或计划开展合作项目的领域。美国和阿根廷的与会者在原子和分子碰撞的物理学方面做出了重要贡献。这次研讨会讨论的主题不仅可能对物理学的各个领域产生影响，而且还可能在生物和化学领域产生影响，并可能在天气预报、法医学和其他领域产生重大应用。***

9722495 Reading This Americas Program award will give partial support to eight US researchers, one post-doctoral scientist, and one undergraduate student to participate in a joint Latin America seminar on atomic collisions, to be held in Rosario, Argentina, on March, 1997. Organizers are Dr. John Reading, Texas A & M University, in collaboration with Dr. Roberto Rivarola, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina. The seminar will focus on recent developments and future directions of research in the field. The central objective of the program will be to identify problems of mutual interest to US and Latin American physicists, in order to delineate new ways in which recent advances, such as use of storage rings and traps, relativistic collisions, biological applications, and others, can be used to advance new science. Emphasis will be on areas in which cooperative programs are being initiated or planned. The U.S. and Argentinean participants have made important contributions to the physics of atomico and molecular collisions. The topics for discussion at this workshop are likely to have an impact not only on various areas of physics, but also in biology and chemistry, and may lead to significant applications in weather forecasting, forensic medicine, and other areas. ***
