Collisions in Atom Traps (CATS)

Summary

The application for an ESF network  to investigate collisional phenomena with cold atoms followed an ESF Exploratory workshop held in 2002. Information on the Workshop (PDF 157 KB)

 The network research  programme is necessarily interdisciplinary combining researchers from the atomic, molecular and optical physics community with those in the quantum chemistry, ultracold plasma and condensed matter communities.

The Network will bring together leading members of the European research community to discuss an integrated approach to the development of a research programme to study (and model) collisional processes with cold atoms. The Network will outline the research required, discuss its implementation, further the transfer of skills and knowledge (through a scheme of staff exchanges), foster the collaboration of European research community and forge links with the US community through the organisation of a series of workshops and conferences. go to website
