(International conference on the physics of electronic and atomic collisions): Foreign trip report, June 28, 1988--July 29, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5881274
The traveler participated in the Executive Committee and Program Committee meetings of the International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions (ICPEAC), held in Paris, France, June 30--July 2, 1988. There he acted as chairman of the task group on long-range planning for ICPEAC, and presented a report on future directions for the conference. He visited the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, West Germany, July 5--7, 1988, where discussions were held on possibilities of transferring their cooling technology to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the forthcoming HISTRDAP project and AIRM Electron Beam Target for the Holifield Heavy Ion Research Facility. The traveler visited the Physics Institute at the University of Giessen, Giessen, West Germany, where discussions were carried out on recent experiments in heavy-ion collision physics, and, in particular, to discuss possible ORNL experiments on electron pair ejection following dielectronic recombination. The traveler then visited the University of Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark, where a collaborative experiment was performed using their newly operative merged beam electron target (MBET) to study dielectronic recombination in high resolution.
