US-France Cooperative Research: Molecular Frame Photoelectron Angular Distributions

0089831幸运：这项为期三年的美法化学合作研究奖由德克萨斯A&M大学的Robert R.Lucchese、法国奥赛巴黎大学的Danielle Dowek和法国南部大学的Georges Raseev获得。他们的合作致力于光致电离过程的理论和实验研究，以及开发一种用于比较和应用于小分子系统的方法。光电离中的光电子角分布是该项目的主要关注点。这位美国研究人员为这次合作带来了分子光电离过程的理论专业知识。此外，这家法国集团在光电离方面的实验专业知识和计算分子框架光电子角分布的经验也补充了这一点。该项目还在奥赛提供了一个专门的同步加速器光源。该奖项代表了美国方面向NSF和法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)提出的联合建议。NSF将支付这名美国调查员和研究生的旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持法国研究人员访问美国。这项合作将促进对光电离基本过程的理解。光电离研究探索了分子高激发态的本质。这些状态在从天体物理和大气化学到生物和材料加工的许多领域都有应用。

0089831LuccheseThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research in chemistry involves Robert R. Lucchese at Texas A&M University, Danielle Dowek and Georges Raseev at the Universite de Paris/Sud in Orsay, France. Their collaboration addresses theoretical and experimental studies of the photoionization process and development of a methodology for comparison and for application to small molecular systems. Photoelectron angular distributions in photoionization is the project's principal focus. The US investigator brings to this collaboration theoretical expertise in molecular photoionization processes. This is complemented by the French group's experimental expertise on photoionization and experience computing molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions. The project also provides access to a specialized synchrotron light source in Orsay.This award represents the US side of a joint proposal to NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigator and graduate students. The CNRS will support the visits of French researchers to the United States. The collaboration will advance understanding of fundamental processes in photoionization. Studies of photoionization probe the nature of highly excited states of molecules. These states have applications to many fields from astrophysics and atmospheric chemistry to biology and materials processing.
