Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division

The Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division of the European Physical Society was established to provide coordination and exchange of information within the European atomic, molecular, and optical physics community. 

 

The main activity of the division is to organize and co-host conferences. These range from small workshops and study groups to large international scale conferences. The major conference of the AMPOD division is the tri annual ECAMP conference series which started in 1982. 

Areas of research include:

  • Atomic and molecular physics 
  • Atomic and molecular astrophysics 
  • Electron collisions 
  • Photon collisions 
  • Atomic and molecular spectroscopy 
  • Molecular reaction dynamics 
  • Ultrafast dynamics 
  • Coherent control 
  • Strong fields
