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

0242942 Pratt描述：该奖项支持10名美国科学家参加美国-印度辐射物理研讨会，题为高能光子与物质相互作用研究的新方向。 组织者匹兹堡大学的Richard Pratt和北孟加拉大学的Swapan Kumar Sen Gupta计划于2003年10月在北孟加拉举办讲习班。 主要目标是确定和发起联合活动，以应对新的同步加速器设施和其他具有根本利益和重要性的技术带来的机会。 研讨会将考虑光吸收、光子散射、X射线和对产生的过程， 从理论和实验的角度，并在每一种情况下考虑哪些新的和基本的见解可以预期。 这项活动是与NSF/MPS物理部门共同资助的。

0242942PrattDescription: This award supports the participation of ten US scientists at a US-India workshop in radiation physics entitled New Directions in the Study of the Interaction of Energetic Photons with Matter. 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.
