Where are we going with molecular beams?

  • Chapter
Rarefied Gas Dynamics

Abstract

A love affair with molecular beams spanning nearly a quarter of a century has made this reporter a true believer in their powers. But believers, however true, are not necessarily successful seers. Indeed, more things have happened in those 25 years than were dreamt of in his original philosophy. Even so, when the organizers of this conference handed him the crystal ball with an invitation to peer into the future, he found the temptation irresistible. May whatever honor he might enjoy in his country of molecular beams and rarefied gas dynamics be spared, even though he dares to impersonate a prophet.
