  • 2017 Annual AtomDB Work Week and Workshop

    Tuesday, October 31, 2017 9:00 am - Friday, November 3 5:00 pm
    Location: CSP Conference Room (322)

    The 2017 Annual AtomDB Workshop will be hosted this year at UGA by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Center for Simulational Physics. The Workshop, to be held Nov. 2-3, will bring together producers of atomic data, astrophysical modelers, and observers focused on X-ray astronomy. The workshop is preceded by working sessions (Oct. 31 - Nov. 1) in which users can learn about AtomDB, initiate collaborations with the AtomDB team, and provide input for future releases of AtomDB.

    The workshop will bring together producers of atomic data, both theoretical and experimental, with the users of atomic data relevant to X-ray astronomy. The workshop aims to identify progress in the Lab Astro field which is directly relevant to X-ray astronomy, show how to use this data to observers, and to show the results of using the atomic physics to analyze astrophysical spectra.

    Workweek: Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, training and collaboration meetings.

    Workshop: Nov. 2 and Nov. 3, talks and posters.

    Deadlines: Hotel reservation, Oct. 2; meeting registration, Oct. 17.

  • Alternative Methods for Quantum Chemical Dynamics Workshop

    Guest: Multiple
    Friday, May 20, 2016 1:30 pm - Saturday, May 21 1:00 pm
    Location: CSP Conference Room (322)

    Standard time-dependent and time-independent computational approaches have seen tremendous success in their application to reactive and inelastic chemical process. However, their utility is generally restricted to small numbers of atoms, low levels of internal excitation, and/or reduced spatial dimensionality. While advances in computational resources continue, the dynamical treatment of systems involving seven or so atoms is generally intractable without severe approximations for manifold reasons.

    This one-day workshop brings together experts pursing other paradigms for chemical dynamics focused on three main themes: new algorithms and computing platforms (neural networks, machine learning, quantum simulation), alternative theoretical methodologies (quantum-semiclassical, kinetic theories), and nonstandard mechanisms and effects (roaming, geometric phase, external field control).

    The meeting will roughly run from 1:30pm Friday to 1:00pm Saturday, with a poster session Friday evening. Participation will be limited to ~30 attendees and there is no registration fee. Inquires can be addressed to Phillip Stancil (stancil@physast.uga.edu).

    Details and schedule for the workshop, as well as registration can be accessed through the workshop site: https://www.physast.uga.edu/workshops/amqcd
