International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bombay, India, February 8-12, 1988, Group Travel Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

描述：该项目旨在支持美国参加1988年2月8-12日在印度孟买举行的夸克-胶子等离子体物理和天体物理国际会议。主题的覆盖面将是广泛的，并将讨论目前在高能重离子碰撞、宇宙线研究、夸克胶子等离子体物理理论等领域的研究。按照计划，这项拨款将覆盖15名美国科学家。范围：这次会议是第二次国际会议，讨论最近在这一物理学基础研究领域的理论和实验工作的一个重要主题，目的是更好地了解物质的状态。在印度，塔塔基础研究所、马德拉斯的MATSCIENCE和加尔各答的萨哈研究所正在进行夸克胶子等离子体领域的大量理论工作。实验工作在TIFR和斯利那加高海拔研究实验室进行。近年来，印度很好地主办了几次物理会议。该项目可以导致参与的美国科学家、他们的印度东道主和国际物理学界之间的强烈互动。这些相互作用很可能会导致这一物理学领域的进一步合作研究。

Description: This project is to support U.S. participation in the International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bombay, India, February 8-12, 1988. The coverage of topics will be broad, and current research in the fields of heavy ion collisions at high energy, cosmic ray research, theory of quark gluon plasma physics will be discussed. It is planned that 15 U.S. scientists will be covered by this grant. Scope: The conference is the second international meeting dealing with an important topic of much recent theoretical and experimental work in this area of fundamental research in physics aiming at better understanding of the states of matter. Considerable theoretical work is being carried in India in the field of Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and at MATSCIENCE in Madras and in Calcutta at the Saha Institute. Experimental work is carried out at TIFR, and at the High Altitude Research Laboratory of Srinagar. India served well as host for several physics conferences in recent years. This project can lead to strong interaction between the participating U.S. scientists, their Indian hosts and the international physics community. It is likely that these interactions will lead to further collaborative research in this area of physics.
