Eighteenth Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs, Pakistan, June 1993, Participation of U.S. Scientists

项目描述：本项目支持美国物理学家代表团前往巴基斯坦参加“第十八届纳蒂亚哈利物理与当代需求暑期学院”。这次会议是巴基斯坦科技部组织的年度活动，目的是为与会者提供一个论坛，讨论物理学的进展及其与现代需求的关系。本学院的主要课题是：与高温超导和表面物理相关的固体物理的最新进展；原子和核集群的当前发展；与原子、核和固体物理有关的反应理论；以及量子流体的合作现象介绍。这些讲座之后将有一个为期一周的研讨会，重点是：与凝聚态物理相关的许多身体理论的进展；原子和核簇；超导性特别高Tc；相变;表面物理。该计划允许参与者参加两个为期一周的会议或两个会议。在密集的讲座之后，将举行简短的研讨会，以提供密切的互动和合作。课堂讲稿将提供给与会者，并将尝试出版会议记录。范围：拟建的暑期学院每年在巴基斯坦的纳蒂亚哈利举行，来自亚洲和非洲的科学家以及来自西方世界的讲师参加。过去，它得到了来自这些国家的参与者以及包括里雅斯特国际理论物理中心在内的国际组织的大力支持。它得到了该中心以及位于北京的中国科学院的部分支持。

Description: This project supports the travel of a delegation of U.S. physicists to Pakistan to participate in the "Eighteenth Nathiaghali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs". The meeting is an annual activity organized by the Pakistan Ministry of Science and Technology to offer to the participants a forum to discuss advances in physics and their relationships to modern needs. The main topics for this college are: recent advances in solid state physics related to high-Tc super conductivity and surface physics; current developments in atomic and nuclear clusters; reaction theories relevant to atomic, nuclear, and solid state physics; and introduction to cooperative phenomena or quantum fluids. These lectures will be followed by a week-long workshop to focus on: progress in many body theories related to condensed matter physics; atomic and nuclear clusters; superconductivity particularly high Tc; phase transformation; and surface physics. The program allows for participants to attend either of the two one- week sessions or both. Short workshops follow the more intense lecture sessions to provide for close interaction and collaboration. Lecture notes are to be provided to the participants, and an attempt will be made to publish the proceedings. Scope: The proposed summer college has been held annually in Nathiaghali, Pakistan, with participation from scientists throughout Asia and Africa and with lecturers from the western world. It has received strong endorsement in the past from participants from these countries as well as from international organizations including the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste. It receives partial support from that center as well as from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
