Purpose:

Image: C60 in intense laser fields The main purpose of the symposium is to bring together researchers working on theoretical or experimental investigations of electron dynamics and related phenomena and to stimulate mutually beneficial discussions. Ample applications of state-of-the-art ab initio quantum chemistry methods to spectroscopic studies of polyatomic molecules are presented. In addition, the symposium features the recent progresses of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and other theoretical methods for studying both electronic and reaction dynamics. Their applications to ultrafast phenomena down to the attosecond regime will be demonstrated by visualization of the temporal and spatial propagation of the electronic and nuclear wave packets of molecules. The results of various advanced experiments such as electron spectroscopy are also presented along with theoretical analyses based on electronic structure calculations. The scientific topics touched upon in this symposium cover a wide range of research areas: electron-molecule collisions, electron detachment and attachment processes, the properties of solvated electrons, excited-state molecular dynamics, core excitations, Penning ionization, chemical reactions and ionization processes of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields, and so on.

Language:

Lectures and formal discussions will be conducted in English.

Type of presentations & facilities:

Invited talks, short oral presentations (15 min including discussion), and poster sessions. Since the slots for short oral presentation are limited, Organizing Committee shall determine the final allocation, whether oral or poster. PC projectors (beamers) are available for oral presentation (no overhead projectors). Poster size should be maximum 90 cm wide and 180 cm high. Materials for attaching posters to the boards will be provided at the symposium site.
