June 14, 2010 - 2:15 PM


Seven members of the McCall group will be presenting talks at the International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy


The presentations this year will cover a wide variety of topics including work on the H3+ + H2 reaction in both laboratory and interstellar settings, velocity modulation spectroscopy using cavity-enhanced techniques, and spectroscopy using our QCL-based ringdown spectrometer. Talks this year will be given by Ben McCall, Andrew Mills, Nick Indriolo, Kyle Crabtree, Brian Siller, Carrie Kauffman, and Jacob Stewart. The schedule of the talks from the McCall group is listed below.
