3rd U.S.-Mexico Workshop on Atomic and Molecular Physics; Cuernavaca, Mexico, March 13-16, 1991

这项奖金将用于支助1991年3月在墨西哥库埃尔纳瓦卡举行的原子和分子物理学讲习班。该讲习班由卫斯理大学的托马斯摩根教授和库埃尔纳瓦卡物理研究所所长卡门西斯内罗斯教授组织，将继续推动1981年和1986年举行的两次讲习班所产生的研究和合作势头，并为1990年代在这一领域开创新的研究方向。在过去的几年里，原子和分子结构中以及碰撞中的多体效应和多电子效应受到了相当大的关注，并且在原子和分子物理学界中对这些主题有很大的兴趣。在过去的几年里，电子关联和一些少体问题已经取得了重大的实验和理论进展，现在对许多重要方面有了初步的了解。然而，这一领域还处于萌芽阶段，在适当的指导和刺激下，在不久的将来，对少体问题和电子关联的更复杂属性的研究，以及它们在不同物理现象中的后果，很可能会产生广泛的普遍性结论。拟议的研讨会的一个重要重点是确定存在于一个不同的网络的实验和理论数据的共同特点。该研讨会旨在提供一种氛围，促进和鼓励开放的想法和自由讨论，以寻找和确定负责许多机构和许多电子现象的多样性的最有影响力的特征。

This award will support a workshop on atomic and molecular physics to be held in Cuernavaca, Mexico, March 1991. The workshop, organized by Professor Thomas Morgan of Wesleyan University and Professor Carmen Cisneros, Director of the Institute of Physics at Cuernavaca, will serve to continue the research and collaboration momentum that was developed as a result of two earlier workshops held in 1981 and 1986 and to initiate new research directions in this field for the 1990`s. Many body and many electron effects in atomic and molecular structure and in collisions have received considerable attention during the last several years, and there is much current interest in these topics within the atomic and molecular physics community. Significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made in the last few years on electron correlation and on some few-body problems and an initial understanding of many important aspects is now at hand. However, the field in nascent and with proper guidance and stimulation it is likely that, in the near future, research on the more complex attributes of few-body problems and of electron correlation, and their consequences in differing physical phenomena, will produce conclusions of wide generality. An important focus of the proposed workshop is to identify common features present in a diverse network of experimental and theoretical data. The workshop aims to provide an atmosphere that promotes and encourages open presentation of ideas and free discussion in order to search for and identify the most influential characteristics responsible for the diversity of many body and many electron phenomena.
