DESCRIPTION

In recent years, utilizing photoionization and photodetachment as probe techniques of complex systems has allowed unprecedented levels of insight into dynamical processes occurring in atomic, molecular, as well as more complex, species. The overall aim of this first Photoionization and Photodetachment Gordon Research Seminar is to bring together young researchers (graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists) from various areas – laboratory-based and facility-based, experimentalists and theorists, strong and weak-field, physicists and chemists – all of whom share a deep interest in the science of the electronic continuum and utilizing it in the study of structure and dynamics in positive, negative and neutral systems.

Topics:

- Photoionization and Photodetachment
- Molecules in Laser Fields: From Pump-Probe to Strong Field Ionization
- Novel Probes of Dynamical Systems: From Strong-Fields to X-Rays
- Attosecond-Resolved Photoionization of Chiral Molecules
- Calculating and Analyzing X-Ray Absorption Spectra Using Wavepacket Propagations
- Local and Non-Local Electronic and Nuclear Relaxation Processes in Aqueous Solutions
- Unveiling the Excited-State Dynamics of Radicals Using Photoelectron Spectroscopy
- Observation of Excited Quadrupole-Bound States in Cold Deprotonated 4-Cyanophenol Anion
- Advanced Detection and Theoretical Techniques
