U.S.-Japan Seminar: Field Effects in Cold Atomic and Molecular Reactions

OISE-0729562 （Stancil; University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc.）美国该奖项支持在东京大学举办的美日研讨会，研究在外部场存在下的微和纳米开尔文温度下的分子反应，这是一个新的跨学科研究领域，出现在原子，分子和化学物理的许多子领域的交叉点。讲习班将着重于在外部电场和磁场存在下的超冷化学相互作用的基本性质，从一些不同的观点进行调查。具体的主题将包括当前的实验和理论研究的修改的外场的势能表面，结合能，寿命和碰撞率。本课程还将涵盖更多应用性的主题，例如有目的地将激光场应用于内部和外部量子态的超冷原子或分子。该研讨会将汇集约40名美国和日本的顶尖研究人员、博士后和研究生。高级研究人员将提供几次辅导课，以提高该计划对参与学生的教育影响。日本同行是九州大学科学研究生院的木村敏夫教授；京都大学物理系教授高桥义郎；以及东京大学工程研究所的Katori Hidetoshi教授。

OISE-0729562 (Stancil; University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc.)U.S.-Japan Workshop: Field Effects in Cold Atomic and Molecular ReactionsABSTRACTThis award supports a U.S.-Japan workshop at the University of Tokyo on the study of molecular reactions at micro- and nanokelvin temperatures in the presence of external fields, a new interdisciplinary research area emerging at the intersection of a number of subfields of atomic, molecular and chemical physics. The workshop will focus on the basic properties of ultracold chemical interactions in the presence of external electric and magnetic fields, as investigated from a number of disparate viewpoints. Specific topics will include current experimental and theoretical investigations on the modifications of external fields of potential energy surfaces, binding energies, lifetimes and collision rates. Topics of a more applied nature, such as the purposeful application of laser fields to ultracold atoms or molecules in their internal and external quantum states, will also be covered. The workshop will bring together approximately 40 leading U.S. and Japanese researchers, postdocs and graduate students. Several tutorial sessions will be offered by senior researchers to enhance the educational impact of the program for participating students. The Japanese counterparts are Professor Mineo Kimura, Kyushu University Graduate School of Sciences; Professor Yoshiro Takahashi, Kyoto University Department of Physics; and Professor Hidetoshi Katori, University of Tokyo Engineering Research Institute.
