About the Atomic and Molecular Data Unit

The Atomic and Molecular Data (AMD) Unit operates within the Nuclear Data Section (NDS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Its primary objective is to establish and maintain internationally recommended numerical databases of fundamental atomic and molecular (AM) data for fusion energy research and other plasma science and technology applications. The particular data relate to the following AM properties and processes:

• Collisional and radiative processes
• Atomic and molecular structure characteristics
• Particle-solid interaction processes
• Physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical material properties

Unit Staff

Kalle Heinola	Atomic Physicist
Ludmila Marian	Scientific Data Manager
Marco Verpelli	Nuclear Data Analyst/Programmer
Christian Hill	SSA Consultant on Atomic and Molecular Data Management
Khadidja Benyahia	SSA Consultant on Atomic Collisional Data

IFRC A+M Subcommittee

The activities of the Unit are reviewed by the International Fusion Research Council Subcommittee on Atomic and Molecular Data for Fusion (IFRC A+M Subcommittee) which recommends policies and programme priorities on a biennial basis.
