f. Mn hPhysics Branch at OR has a considerable interest
in photoconductors especially as infrared detectors. In addition,
a considerable as of mt of thdr sponsored work in this field is toward
the development of a thoery of photoconductivity. Toward this and.,
they are jointly sponsoring in cooperation with ACA and the University
of Pennsylvania a Conference of Photoconduction to be held at the
Senator Hotel, from November 4 - 6 inclusive.
