Excerpt from Technical Activities, 1986: Center for Basic Standards

During the past year, this group has become noticeably smaller and somewhat more focussed. Two persistent themes remain: of more obvious relevance to cbs we have several fundamental measurement exercises, each of which has required serious improvement in metrological technique and all of which bear strongly on issues of basic scientific moment. The second, lless metrologically demanding exercise, concerns the physics of inner - shell processes where need for clarification of fundamental mechanisms has led us to extensive involvement with synchrotron radiation facilities and the National Synchrotron Light Source (nsls) at Brookhaven, in particular. Although practiced in the organizational locale of cbs, rationalization of this work needs to look toward molecular and condensed matter science and applications include even surface studies.

For convenience and variety, this year's review is organized geographically, focussing in order on Gaither'sburg, Grenoble and Brookhaven. (although the west-german connection for high Z, few electron systems remains important, it was, aside from planning and analysis, dormant.) As described below, there have been notable successes at these three sites but none appears ripe for closing at this time.
