Fundamental Electronic and Structural Dynamics

The 20th Gordon Research Conference on Multiphoton Processes will present forefront research featuring light-matter interaction in a variety of systems, ranging from atoms and molecules to clusters and solids. Photoinduced dynamics in these systems are central to many emerging fields of modern atomic, molecular, chemical and optical physics.

The meeting embraces the rapid technological and intellectual growth in both theory and experiment in the exciting new areas that have recently opened up.

The sessions will focus on: attosecond dynamics, multidimensional imaging of chemical dynamics, solid-state dynamics, chirality, nonlinear XUV and X-ray science, dynamics at conical intersections and electronic and nuclear dynamics in complex systems (clusters, nanoparticles).

The conference will also focus on technological developments and new emerging techniques related to the study of these dynamics.

The scientific program is cross-disciplinary, including physicists, chemists, and optical engineers, in both theory and experiment. The speakers and discussion leaders are a mixture of well-established leaders in the field and young and upcoming researchers from around the world.
