International Workshop on Physics at the Planck Scale, Puri, India, December, 1994, Group Travel award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

9406938说明：本项目支持美国物理学家参加将于1994年12月在印度普里举行的普朗克尺度物理学国际研讨会。印度的组织者是物理研究所的J. Maharana教授，布巴内斯瓦尔7510005，印度。研讨会的目的是汇集印度在该领域工作的大多数活跃物理学家，以及世界上一些最杰出的物理学家，讨论物理学的一些最基本的问题。主题将是：黑洞及其蒸发的物理学，宇宙早期的演化，宇宙常数的问题，以及自然基本力的统一问题。范围：拟议的研讨会的科学领域是印度科学界作出显著贡献的领域。讲习班的一些印度与会者确实有可能对该领域现有的知识体系作出贡献。理论物理的这一领域受到来自工业化程度较低的国家的科学家的欢迎，这些国家没有现成的现代实验物理设备。讲习班将提供资料交流，并鼓励在这种成本相对较低的研究方面进行联合研究和合作。＊＊＊

9406938 Das Description: This project supports participation by U.S. physicists in an international workshop on the physics at the Planck scale, to be held in Puri, India, in December, 1994. The Indian organizer is Professor J. Maharana of the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar 751 005, India. The workshop is designed to bring together most of the active physicists of India working in the area, along with some of the most eminent physicists of the world, to discuss some of the most fundamental problems of physics. the Topics will be: physics of black holes and their evaporations, evolution of the Universe at very early epochs, the problem of the cosmological constant, as well as the question of unification of fundamental forces of Nature. Scope: The scientific field of the proposed workshop is one in which the Indian scientific community has made noticeable contributions. There is a real potential that some of the Indian participants in the workshop will contribute to the body of knowledge available in the field. This area of theoretical physics has been popular with scientists from less industrialized countries where modern experimental physics facilities are not readily available. The workshop will provide for exchanges of information and stimulate joint research and collaboration in this relatively low-cost research. ***
