H3+ : a
key
molecular ion in the universe and a challeng for
theorists on
earth. |
H3+
is a key molecular ion in the universe. Its detection in
hydrogen-rich
planets such as Jupiter (1989) and in interstellar space
(1996) relied on
data obtained by laboratory
spectroscopy and, ultimately, ab initio calculations. H3+
in excited
electronic states, for which only theoretical data exist so far,
may be
present in magnetized hydrogen plasmas. My expertise
includes
electronic structure calculations,modelling of potential energy
surfaces and
theoretical spectroscopy, in particular of H3+. |

| The workshop will
be
held at the Hotel
Hacienda
Cocoyoc [Laptops (Mac and Windows) as well as projectors (including transparencies) will be available] Collective return to Mexico City on Wednesday Feb. 14 will be organized. A guided visit to Teotihuacan will organized on Thursday Feb. 15 Staying in Mexico City: we recommend the Hotel Catedral (very good, excellent location, and cheap) |
