US-India Cooperative Research: Ionization of Atoms by Electromagnetic Radiation and Charged Particles

9731206曼森描述：该奖项支持美印合作研究：通过电磁辐射和带电粒子使原子电离。乔治亚州立大学的史蒂文·曼森和印度理工学院(IIT)的普拉纳瓦·德什穆克将继续研究各种电离辐射与原子和离子物质相互作用的理论计算问题。他们将强调尚未进行实验探索的区域。随着新的强大的同步加速器光源的出现，包括印度的一个光源，这些系统将更容易在实验室中进行探索，从而使拟议的研究相当及时。范围：这些结果将进一步深入了解基本原子过程的基本性质，这些过程在等离子体物理、大气、太阳和天体物理以及辐射物理中非常重要。在这两个国家，这项研究为研究生和高级本科生提供了计算和理解原子和分子结构以及碰撞的方法的培训。此外，对于印度来说，这种合作促进了IIT Madras建立一个具有国际竞争力的研究项目。***

9731206 Manson Description: This award supports the US-India Cooperative Research: Ionization of Atoms by Electromagnetic Radiation and Charged Particles." Collaborators Steven Manson of Georgia State University and Pranawa Deshmukh of the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Madras will continue to research problems involving theoretical calculations of the interaction of various kinds of ionizing radiation with atomic and ionic matter. They will emphasize regions which have not been explored experimentally. With the advent of the new powerful synchrotron light sources, including one in India, these systems will be more readily explored in the laboratory, thus making the proposed studies quite timely. Scope: The results will provide further insight into the basic nature of fundamental atomic processes which are important in plasma physics, atmospheric, solar and astrophysics, and radiation physics. In both countries, the research provides training for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in methods of calculating and understanding atomic and molecular structure and collisions. Additionally, for India the collaboration facilitates the build-up of an internationally competitive research program at the IIT, Madras. ***
