Purpose

Image: C60 in shaped laser fields In view of the rapid progress in theoretical or experimental studies of electron dynamics and related phenomena, it is desirable to bring together active researchers to stimulate mutually beneficial discussions. Ample applications of state-of-the-art ab initio quantum chemistry and quantum dynamical methods to the investigations of excited state dynamics of polyatomic molecules are presented in the symposium. In addition, the symposium features 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 momentum coincidence 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, attosecond science, chemical reactions and ionization processes of molecules in intense laser fields, and so on. We hope that you will find this symposium fruitful, enjoyable and worthwhile.


Presentation facilities

Image: projector PC projectors are available for oral presentation, but not overhead projectors. Poster size should be maximum 90 cm width and 180 cm height. Materials for attaching posters to the boards will be provided at the symposium site.

From Narita International Airport
  • Take a train, Narita Express (N'EX), bounds for Tokyo station from a station inside the airport. Tickets can be purchased at the station.
  • Purchase domestic-airplane tickets to Sendai international airport together with international-airplane tickets to Narita.
From Tokyo station
image: Tohoku Shinkansen E4 Take a Tohoku Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train, JR-EAST) which goes to Sendai station.The fastest Tohoku Shinkansen "HAYATE" and "KOMACHI" takes 1 hour and 45 minutes, the Tohoku Shinkansen "MAX YAMABIKO" takes 2 hour and a half. On Tohoku Shinkansen "HAYATE" and Akita Shinkansen "KOMACHI", all seats require reservations. image: airport
