US-India Workshop: New Directions in the Study of the Interaction of Energetic Photons with Matter, North Bengal, India, Fall 2003

该奖项支持10名美国科学家参加题为《高能光子与物质相互作用研究的新方向》的美国-印度辐射物理学研讨会。组织者，匹兹堡大学的理查德·普拉特和北孟加拉邦大学的斯瓦潘·库马尔·森·古普塔，计划于2003年10月在北孟加拉邦召开研讨会。主要目标是确定和启动联合活动，以应对新的同步加速器设施和其他技术的机会，这些设施和其他技术具有根本的利益和重要性。讲习班将从理论和实验两个角度审议光吸收、光子散射、X射线和成对生产过程，并在每种情况下审议可以预见的新的和基本的见解。这项活动是与NSF/MPS物理部共同资助的。

The organizers, Richard Pratt, University of Pittsburgh and Swapan Kumar Sen Gupta, North Bengal University, plan to convene the workshop at North Bengal in October 2003. The primary objective is to identify and initiate joint activities, responding to the opportunities of the new synchrotron facilities and other technologies, which are of fundamental interest and importance. The workshop will consider the processes of photoabsorption, photon scattering, x-ray and pair production, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, and in each case consider which new and fundamental insights can be anticipated. This activity is cofunded with the NSF/MPS Division of Physics.
