Following the first Capri School on Photon Correlation Spectroscopy
held in July 1973 and published earlier in this series (Series B:
Physics v.3) a second Capri NATO Advanced Study Institute on this
topic was held at the Hotei Luna from 26 July to 6 August 1976.
This volume contains the invited lecture courses and seminars and
some of the contributed seminars presented at this Institute. Much
had happened in the field in the intervening three years and it was
the intention of the Organising Committee to build on the previous
courses * without detailed repetition of fundamentals. and to
extend the coverage widely over the use of photon-correla tion
methods for the temporal or spectral analysis of fluctuating light
sources. In particular, the rapid expansion of these methods for
the measurement of macroscopic motion by Laser Doppler Veloci metry
was given special emphasis as is indicated in the title. The
members of the Organizing Committee were: E R Pike, RSRE, Malvern,
UK } _ Co-directors H Z Cummins, CCNY, New York, USA M Bertolotti,
University of Rome, Italy - Local Organiser P Pusey, RSRE, Malvern,
UK - Treasurer V DeGiorgio, CISE, Milan, Italy P Lallemand, ENS,
Paris, France Pierre de Gennes assisted the Committee during the
planning of the Institute but was unfortunately prevented at the
last minute from attending.
This volume contains the invited lectures and seminars and
abstracts of the contributed seminars presented at the NATO
Advanced Study Institute on Photon Correlation and Light Beating
Spectroscopy held at the Centro Caprense Di Vita E Di Studi Ignazio
Cerio , Capri, Italy, July 16-27, 1973. The Institute was organized
to provide a com~rehen8ive presentation of this new and rapidly
developing field for those interested in applying these techniques
to problems in many areas including Physics, Biology, Engineering
and Chemistry. The lectures were divided into three principal
categories: the first Basic Theory (Photon Statistics and
Correlation, Scattering Theory), secondly Instrumentation
(Correlation Techniques, Light Beating), and the third Areas of
Application (Gas and Liquid Dynamics, Critical Phenomena, Biology).
The seminars provided detailed presentations of applications to a
number of specific problems. * Although the selection of topics was
inevitably li mi ted, i t was the hope of the organizing committee
that the lectures would provide a broad coverage appropriate for
the needs of the interdisciplinary audience represented by the
participants, and that this volume would serve for some years to
come as a useful introduction for those entering the field. The
members of the Organizing Committee were: E.R. Pike, RRE, Malvern
U.K. } Co-directors H.Z. Cummins, New York University M.
Bertolotti, Universita di Roma - LocalOrganizer J.M. Vaughan, RRE,
