University selected
for physics seminar
The University has been
selected as the site of X-82, a
biennial international coher
ence on X-ray and atomic inner
shell physics to be held Aug
23-27. 1982
Scientists from 36 countries,
including large contingencies
from the United States, West
Germany and Japan, are ex
pected to attend, according to
Bernd Crasemann. physics
professor and conference co
chairman
X-ray physics "involves re
search having important, highly
technical applications" to such
problems as the development of
heat-resistant metals for use on
spacecraft like the space
shuttle Crasemann said The
research also deals with the
development of an X-ray laser
that could be used to make
computer circuitry smaller
The production of computer
circuits now depends on con
ventional photography," Cra
semann said "Using an X-ray
laser would allow production of
much smaller and faster cir
cuits "
Atomic inner-shell physics
concerns the actions of the very
high-energy electrons that orbit
closest to the nucleus of atoms,
he explained
The University's selection as
host tor the event recognizes
the quality of research un
derway here, said conference
co-chairman R D Deslattes, a
National Bureau of Standards
physicist
The conference organizing
committee picked the University
because of the "very good
work" going on in the University
physics department, he said
The five-day event will include
papers on such topics as the
design of short-wavelength
lasers and the X-ray diagnosis
of plasmas used in controlled
thermonuclear fusion There
will be general presentations
each day, as well as smaller,
specialized sessions
The conference is sponosred
by the International Union of
Pure and Applied Physics and
the American Physical Society
in conjunction with the Univer
sity
Previous conferences were
held in Scotland in 1980 and
Japan in 1978

X-82 conference can be ob

One killed, two injured
in violent weekend storm
A 19-year-old University
student was electrocuted
Sunday morning in Portland
after apparently stepping on a
power line downed in a violent
storm that swept the Pacific
Northwest last weekend
Marjorie Weisensee, an un
declared sophomore from
Portland, and two companions
apparently were getting out of
her car at her Portland home
shortly after midnight Saturday
when the accident occured
--
Her companions, also Univer
sity students, were burned in the
electrocution and were taken to
Portland's Emanuel Hospital
On Tuesday, hospital person
nel listed sophomore Kari
Hartman a 19-year-old pre-bus
iness administration major
from Portland, in critical condi
tion, and Karin Elstad, an
18-year-old undeclared so
phomore, in serious condition
