"Dick" Thomas to provide an annual award to the year's most outstanding graduate student(s) in astrophysics. Each year, the JILA astrophysical faculty nominate outstanding students and vote to determine the recipient of the award. 

Stephen Leone Reception and Colloquium: Ultrafast Dynamics with X-ray Eyes

When
-

Abstract:  X-rays provide a unique spectroscopic view of molecules and
materials, from an element-specific and orbital-selective frame of
reference. Femtosecond and attosecond X-ray and extreme ultraviolet pulses
(XUV) are used to probe curve crossings and conical intersections in
molecules, electron and hole carriers in solids, coherent phonon motions,
and core hole excitons, revealing breathtaking 'movies' of novel, ultrashort
dynamical processes.
