Prof. Larry Viehland of Chatham College is supported by the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program via a RUI award to study the kinetic theory of ion traps. The research is developing a detailed kinetic theory of ion traps that will make explicit connection with molecular level events. The theory is based on the Boltzmann equation and takes into account gaseous mixtures, molecular gases and complex trapping fields and is being carried out in collaboration with an experimental group led by Dr. Douglas Goeringer of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The work is having a broader impact through the expected applications to quantum computing, trace organic analysis and the design of ion traps as well as through the positive impact on female undergraduates who are participating in the research at Chatham, one of the few remaining women's colleges in the United States.

查塔姆学院的Larry Viehland教授通过RUI奖获得了理论和计算化学项目的支持，以研究离子陷阱的动力学理论。这项研究正在开发一种详细的离子陷阱动力学理论，将与分子水平的事件明确联系起来。该理论以玻尔兹曼方程为基础，考虑了气体混合物、分子气体和复杂的捕获场，并与橡树岭国家实验室的道格拉斯·戈林格博士领导的一个实验小组合作进行。这项工作正在产生更广泛的影响，因为它有望应用于量子计算、痕量有机分析和离子陷阱的设计，并对查塔姆大学参与这项研究的女本科生产生积极影响。查塔姆大学是美国仅存的几所女子学院之一。
