There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Prof. Leon Sanche, Professor of Physics and Medicine, Sherbrook University, will be giving a special short course/seminar series on March 31st. The two talks he will give will be
Fundamental interactions of low energy electrons with condensed molecules and applications
and
Mechanisms of DNA damage induced by low energy electrons.
Each will be about 40 minutes with a break for questions, refreshments, etc.
The first will be somewhat of a tutorial and the second will be more focused on his very recent advances in both theory and experiments involving DNA damage.
Prof. Sanche is a pioneer in the study of electron interactions with condensed targets and is one of the world leaders in understanding the inelastic processes which lead to damage of DNA, etc. He is also a long time friend and collaborator. He is an invited speaker at the ACS symposium on electron scattering with complex molecules that was organized by Thomas Orlando.
