This international planning grant will support travel by PI Schaffer and two US graduate students to Brazil to work with Brazilian collaborators Professor Luis Marcassa and 5 graduate students at the University of Sao Paulo at Sao Carlos in Brazil and Professor Andre L. de Oliveira at Santa Catarina State University. The aim of this planning grant will be to initiate collaborative research using a Rydberg atom imaging spectrometer and parallel supercomputing codes for calculating cold Rydberg atom interactions in order to investigate collision dynamics and molecule formation in cold Rydberg gases. This work will be aimed at determining their electric field dependence so that a background electric field can be used to control the properties of the cold Rydberg gas.

这项国际规划赠款将支持Pi Schaffer和两名美国研究生前往巴西的旅行，与巴西合作者Luis Marcassa教授合作，在巴西Sao Carlos的Sao Paulo大学和圣塔卡塔里纳州立大学的Andre L. de Oliveira教授和圣保罗教授Andre L. De Oliveira。该计划赠款的目的是使用Rydberg Atom成像光谱仪和平行超级计算代码进行合作研究，以计算冷rydberg Atom相互作用，以研究冷rydberg气体中的碰撞动力学和分子形成。这项工作将旨在确定其电场依赖性，以便可以使用背景电场来控制冷rydberg气体的性质。
