It is required that the presenting author will register and attend the meeting. You do not need to be an APS member to submit a contributed abstract to the DAMOP26 Meeting.

Before submitting your abstract, please choose an Abstract Sorting Category. View the available Abstract Sorting Categories here.

Select the 57th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics and follow the step-by-step instructions. Log in first using your APS web account. If you are new to APS, create your web account. If you’ve attended an APS meeting or are a former APS member, create your web account with your APS ID number. Select the abstract format and proceed.

Contributed abstract body text is limited to 1,300 characters (about 250 words). Having numerous authors as well as overly long titles, affiliations, and footnotes can push the abstract over the character limit despite being within the limit for the abstract text itself. Review Tips for Writing a Title and Abstract.

If you encounter any problems submitting your abstract contact the APS Abstract Help Line abs-help@aps.org, Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
