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名美国科学家参加美印辐射物理学研讨会，题为“高能光子与物质相互作用研究的新方向”。组织者是匹兹堡大学的Richard Pratt和北孟加拉大学的Swapan Kumar Sen Gupta，他们计划于2003年10月在北孟加拉召开研讨会。主要目标是确定和发起联合活动，响应具有根本利益和重要性的新的同步加速器设施和其他技术的机会。研讨会将从理论和实验的角度考虑光吸收、光子散射、x射线和对产生的过程，并在每种情况下考虑可以预期哪些新的和基本的见解。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.
