These notes are devoted to a discussion of the results we obtained during the last two years in experiments of confinement and cooling of bosonic and fermionic potassium atoms towards quantum degeneracy. Further details on these experiments can be found in

This report documents the fifth Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Intercalibration Round-Robin experiment (SIRREX-5), which was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on 23 July to 30 July 1996. The agenda for
A new algorithm is presented for measuring differential group delay in optical fibres and components using the modulation phase-shift technique which only requires the launching of four polarisation states.
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed

The new NIST Atomic Spectra Database (ASD) interactive Web site is accessible via: http://atm.nist.gov/asd. The new version covers a much wider range of atomic and ionic transitions and energy levels than earlier versions, and all data are integrated. ASD
A summary of the Workshop on Non-neutral Plasmas, held in Boulder, Colorado, July 29 through August 1, 1997, is given. This workshop provided an opportunity for the exchange of results and scientific information among the diverse areas of plasma physics
This report summarizes research projects measurement method developments, calibration and testing services, and data evaluation activities that were carried out during calendar year 1998 in the NIST Physics Laboratory. These activities are in the areas of
