Invited talks were solicited which were representative of the most important developments since the fourth conference held in Heidelberg, Germany in 1974. In this volume, we have collected the manuscripts of the invited speakers, in the belief that they represent a guide to contemporary re­ search in atomic physics. Experimental work on such topics as the search for parity violation, spectroscopy and collision processes of fast, highly-stripped heavy ions, exotic atoms, high-Rydberg states, laser spectros­ copy, photoelectron spectroscopy, and others are described. The work described in these manuscripts is a clear mea­ sure of the continued vitality of our field. One unhappy event since the last conference was the passing of Dr. Victor William (Bill) Cohen (1911-1974) of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Bill was one of the scientists who recognized early the need for personal communication among atomic physicists and was the prime mover in establishing the present international conference series. Everyone who has enjoyed the stimulation of these conferences is indebted to Bill Cohen, and we dedicate this volume of the proceedings to his memory.

As digital technologies are expanding the power and reach of research, they are also raising complex issues. These include complications in ensuring the validity of research data; standards that do not keep pace with the high rate of innovation; restrictions on data sharing that reduce the ability of researchers to verify results and build on previous research; and huge increases in the amount of data being generated, creating severe challenges in preserving that data for long-term use. Ensuring the Integrity, Accessibility, and Stewardship of Research Data in the Digital Age examines the consequences of the changes affecting research data with respect to three issues - integrity, accessibility, and stewardship-and finds a need for a new approach to the design and the management of research projects.

Colbert; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; MIT; NASA Glenn Reseach Center. At the start of the year, the Executive Branch of the federal government was in the midst of transition. However, while the government almost appeared to slow to a halt during the transition, news of exciting physics research results continued unabated. During the APS March Meeting in Seattle, a marathon session was held on the new superconductor, magnesium diboride, while at the April Meeting in Washington, DC, excitement was high as the first reports of new precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background strongly supported the idea of an early inflationary universe. Other lead stories included the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) results confirming solar neutrino oscillations, the establishment of CP violation in B-meson decay, and the demonstration of bringing pulses of light to a standstill in such a way that all of the information that they contain is stored in atomic excitations and later recoverable. Heroic efforts by the APS Editorial Office staff throughout the year allowed the completion of the Physical Review On-line Archive, PROLA, so that every paper that APS has ever published is now on-line and readily accessible. Within PROLA, each paper is linked to previous papers to which it refers and also to subsequent papers that cite it.

The heritage of these centers survives in their physical structures and instruments; in the scientific data recorded in their observing logs, photographic plates, and instrumental records of various kinds; and more commonly in the published and unpublished records of astronomers and of the observatories at which they worked. These records have continuing value for both historical and scientific research. In January 2007 the American Astronomical Society (AAS) formed a working group to develop and disseminate procedures, criteria, and priorities for identifying, designating, and preserving structures, instruments, and records so that they will continue to be available for astronomical and historical research, for the teaching of astronomy, and for outreach to the general public. The scope of this charge is quite broad, encompassing astronomical structures ranging from archaeoastronomical sites to modern observatories; papers of individual astronomers, observatories and professional journals; observing records; and astronomical instruments themselves. Reflecting this wide scope, the members of the working group include historians of astronomy, practicing astronomers and observatory directors, and specialists Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Santa encounters tight security during in astronomical instruments, archives, and archaeology. a wartime visit to Oak Ridge.

When we planned the study, we decided that individual interviews with physicists, R&D managers, and information professionals (e.g., technical librarians, archivists, and records managers) who work at 15 of the 27 largest employers of physicists in industry would be the best way to capture the experience and perspectives of the participants with as much richness and context as possible. Business in general has frequently been described as one of the least documented sectors in American society, and sources on the work of corporate physicists are especially rare. So our purpose has been to learn as much as we can about the extent to which these records do exist; how companies Pope Pius XII greets Professor and Mrs. Harlow Shapley following treat correspondence (including e-mail), lab notebooks, the Pope’s address to the International Union (IAU) assembly at and other documentary materials of scientists today; the Castel Gandolfo.
