- Summary: The course will cover basic theory of atomic structure,
spectroscopy and collisions and related experimental techniques. I
would like to stress more on the experimental techniques, if the
students are able to spend some time in laboratories doing such work.
Possibilities of visits are to the Accelerator at Panjab University,
Chandigarh and Inter-University Accelerator Centre, Delhi. I haven't
explored these yet, but would like to. The feasibility of such an
arrangement will depend on the number of students.
