Project Details:

Part 5. Electronic-Vibrational-Rotational Spectroscopy
Series: Notations and Conventions in Molecular Spectroscopy

Project No.:	154-6-97
Start date:	1997-01-01
End date:	2001-12-31
Division:	Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division

The purpose of the Subcommittee on Notations and Conventions for MolecularSpectroscopy is to establish and recommend a set of conventions andsymbols from those that are in common use in the spectroscopic literature.All of its projects have this objective, with the title showing thescope of a project. The symbols, notations and conventions of thisfield are very detailed and extensive; they have expanded greatlyin the past 2 decades as a result of the extraordinary detail revealedby modern laser spectroscopy. This project will complement the projecton vibration-rotation spectroscopy by considering the many additionalfeatures introduced by transitions between different electronic states.The final report of the project will present a consistent set of thesymbols, notations and conventions that are in current use in theanalysis and use of very-high-resolution spectra of electronic-vibration-rotationtransitions. The subcommittee'sinternational membership includes the leading workers in the field,which ensures that the project will provide a consistent basis forthe growing international application of high-resolution spectroscopyto studies of space, the atmosphere, and chemical physics.
