Chemistry, Astronomy, and Physics of H₃⁺

Organized by T. Oka, M. Larsson, S. Miller, and S. Schlemmer

(B. J. McCall, Secretary)

This Discussion Meeting is the third in a series of meetings intended to assemble researchers from different fields in which H₃⁺ plays a major role and to discuss the most fundamental molecular ion from a variety of perspectives. Talks from the 2000 and 2006 meetings have been published in Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A 358, 2359-2559 (2000) and 364, 2845-3151 (2006).

The great development of the sciences of H₃⁺ since 2006 will be discussed in the meetings and the centennial of JJ Thomson's discovery of H₃⁺ will be celebrated. Among the topics included in the program will be:

The talks and discussions will be published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
