The Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC)

October 3 - 7, 2022

Sendai, Japan


A special meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (DAMOP), promotes ideas on the physical and chemical processes and dynamics taking place in partially ionized, collisional plasma and between the atoms, molecules, charged particles, photons, waves, and fields. The GEC has a long leadership history of presenting fundamental and basic science contributions on plasma sources, diagnostics, simulation, plasma chemistry, basic phenomena, atomic and molecular processes. In recent years, GEC has also been a leading venue for reporting on emergent areas of plasma-biotechnology, plasma medicine, multiphase plasmas, environmental applications and atmospheric-pressure plasma systems. The 2022 GEC will continue its tradition of offering a truly outstanding venue for leading research in low temperature plasma science and collision physics. Topics from fundamental plasma research to new applications are expected to be discussed during GEC 2022.

    Relating to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Attendee acknowledges the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assumes the risk of exposure or infection by attending the The NSF Physics REU Leadership Group (NPRLG) 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, disability, and/or death to Attendee. Attendee understands that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the NPRLG 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of others who may attend the event or their families, colleagues, or others with whom they may have contact. Accordingly, Attendee understands and agrees that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the APS and their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, officials, employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in the NPRLG 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop. In addition to all other rules and regulations relating to Attendee’s attendance at the NPRLG 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop, In-Person attendees agree to agree to comply with all COVID-related procedures that may be implemented by the NPRLG 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop and the The Hilton Orrington/Evanston, including, but not limited to, mask-wearing and social distancing requirements and restrictions on certain activities that carry higher COVID-related risk, to protect, as much as possible, the health and safety of all NPRLG 2022 Physics REU Site Directors Workshop attendees.


    APS recommends:
