Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Participants:

The purpose of this Topical Group is to start discussions and possibly
informal collaborations in this field.

We shall meet at 9AM and at 3:PM every day (Monday May 28th through
Friday June 1st) in the Tea Room for one-hour sessions, including coffee,
cookies, informal presentations of the participants' own work and discussions
on specific aspects related to the main topic. As for every ITAMP activity,
everybody from ITAMP is welcome to attend.

The plan, as it now stands, is (all times are intended sharp because of limited
room availability):

We asked Ike to talk about ideas on molecular ions and about measurements on
noise in ion traps, but we are not yet sure about his availability. However, he
plans to come at least some time during the week, so we can always decide or
last-minute schedule adjustments.

Please note that cookies, muffins and coffee are available, so come without
breakfast if you like!

The official schedule is:
Monday:(Holiday) 9-11:30 Afternoon informal coffee in ITAMP Lounge.

Thursday: 9-11:30 Pizza Lunch at 11:30 - 13:30
- Thu 9AM: Alex on Holstein-Herring method and on past literature on atom-ion collisions
and/or Robin on Rb-Ba+ (? - to be continued in the ITAMP lounge in the afternoon)
