We summarize work done in our laboratory on DOE-sponsored research, and also summarize other activities of our group. Detailed presentations of our current interests and future plans are presented in the accompanying Renewal Proposal. In the polarizability experiment, we have completed measurements of the dc electric dipole polarizabilities of all alkali halide dimers. We have completed the experiment to measure the dc electric polarizability of atomic indium. Similar measurements on several thallous halides are in progress. In our scattering work, the construction phase on our new apparatus has been completed, and we have now finished the first measurements of absolute cross sections for the scattering of low energy electrons by five highly polar systems (alkali halides), and have also done some preliminary measurements on similar studies on one alkali halide), and have also done some preliminary measurements on similar studies on one alkali halide dimer.
