The Advanced Study Institute on "Quantum Dynamics of Molecules: The
New Experimental Challenge to Theorists," which was sponsored by
the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, was held at Trinity Hall,
Ca bridge, England from September 15th till September 29th, 1979.
In all, a total of 79 lecturers and students attended the meeting:
they had diverse backgrounds in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
In my proposal to NATO requesting financial support for an Advanced
Study Institute, I suggested that molecular physics was facing a
qualitatively new experimental situation in which the exploration
of previously inaccessible dynamical phenomena would become of
increasing importance. At the same time I was aware that in recent
years powerful theoretical techniques, that might prove crucial
tools for the interpretation of the new experiments, have been
developed in mathematics and theoretical physics. The aim of the
ASI was to review at an advanced level these recent developments,
juxtaposing new theory with new experimental pos sibilities in the
hope that the participants in the-Institute would through their
subsequent work increase the awareness of the whole molecular
theory community of the changing nature of chemical physics. The
recent developments in laser spectroscopy, particle scatter ing
experiments and molecular beam technology imply that an entirely
new class of phenomena involving molecules in gasses and liquids
can now be investigated."
