Partial Support of the Committee of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences Final Report for the Period September 30, 2008 to June 30, 2014.

摘要

This report is the final report for the 2008-2014 cycle of DOE support for the Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences. Highlights of the committee’s activities over this period included: Meetings of the committee were held semi-annually (Washington, DC in April and Irvine, CA in October) for four of the six years and annually the last two years (Washington, DC in April); Committee meetings included half-day focus sessions on each of the areas identified in the last AMO decadal survey as having great scientific promise and short summaries of the focus session were prepared and delivered to sponsoring agencies; CAMOS initiated a study that has been funded on high intensity lasers. DOE support for CAMOS has been of central importance to the committee’s ability to continue to fulfill its mandate to the Board on Physics and Astronomy and to the wider atomic, molecular, and optical sciences research community.
