The First Binational USA-USSR Seminar-Symposium on the Theory of
Light Scattering in Condensed Matter was held in Moscow 26-30 May
1975. The initial conception for a light scattering seminar of
about fifty scientists - half from each side, including theorists
and experimenters "well versed in theory" - arose from discussions
between Professor J. L. Birman and Professor K. K. Rebane at the
1971 Paris International Conference on Light Scattering in Solids.
This conception won approval among the active scientists on both
sides. After considerable planning and some delays, it received
both material support and encouragement from the appro priate
organizations on each side: in the USA: The National Science
Foundation (Division of International Programs), and the National
Academy of Sciences; in the USSR: the Academy of Sciences USSR. A
variety of reasons contributed to the positive response on both
sides: for example, the considerable and high level of theoretical
and experimental scientific activity on both sides in laser-related
light scattering, optics, and generally - electro dynamics of
condensed media - some along rather similiar lines; the impediments
to free and easy communication and travel be tween USA and USSR
scientists working on related problems; plus the desire to improve
both contacts, and the free flow of informa tion and individuals,
to the mutual advantage of both sides."
