The traveler participated in the committee meeting which set up the program for the next International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions, to be held in Brisbane, Australis. Seminars were presented at Frankfurt, Freiburg, and Paris. Discussions took place covering the following subjects of direct relevance to ORNL programs: pair production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, angular correlations and post-collision interactions in the Coulomb three-body problem, and interactions of slow, highly charged ions with crystal surfaces. The primary purpose of this trip was to participate in a meeting of the General Committee of the International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions, held at Castelgandolfo, near Rome. The subsidiary purpose was to maintain contacts with some of the leading European centers of research in atomic physics, namely Frankfurt (including GSI, Darmstadt), Freiburg, and Paris. Each has historically interacted with programs at ORNL, and members of groups and laboratories from those places are fairly regular visitors to the Physics Division of ORNL. Each is strong in both theory and experiment.
