RELATED CONFERENCES

FROM: Tim Zwier and Mitchio Okumura

As organizers of two of the Division of Chemical Physics focus sessions for the April '97 meeting of the APS, we wish to highlight these focus sessions for you and encourage you to attend the meeting and contribute to these sessions.

Both of these sessions will be on Sunday April 20, 1997. The session on cavity ring-down spectroscopy is scheduled for Sunday morning, while a session on molecular clusters will take place in the afternoon.

AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY MEETING
JOINT MEETING OF APS, AAPT, and DAMOP
APRIL 18-21 1997
WASHINGTON, D.C.

SPECIFIC SESSIONS OF INTEREST TO SPECTROSCOPISTS:

  Session Organizer: Timothy Zwier, Purdue University
  Invited speakers: Gerhard Meijer (Nijmegen)
  Rich Saykally (Berkeley), and
  M. C. Lin (Emory)

  Focus session 2: THE SPECTROSCOPY OF MOLECULAR CLUSTERS
  

  Session Organizer: Mitchio Okumura, Cal Tech

  Invited speakers: Ulrich Boesl (Muchen)

  Roger Miller (UNC-Chapel Hill)

There will be room for several contributed talks and posters associated with both sessions.

Deadline for submission for contributed papers: January 17, 1997.
