Funded Activity Summary

Quantum Mechanics and Planetary Atmospheres. The project will increase the visibility and status of Australian research, by the participation of researchers and students in a wide international collaboration, covering experiments, theory, and computation, which will solve a fundamental research problem that has previously defied understanding. The resulting nitrogen model will be relevant to the important fields of global and planetary atmospheric change, and will find immediate application in the analysis of results from the NASA missions, Voyager, Cassini, and (later) New Horizons. In the experimental part of the project, an Australian-first extreme-ultraviolet laser facility will be developed which will provide research opportunities complementary to the Australian Synchrotron.
