Institute for Theoretical Physics

[407194]兰格理论物理研究所将继续其广泛而独特的努力。研究所促进理论物理学的研究，适当时特别强调跨越物理学传统分支领域的问题。它的主要活动是长期研究项目，通常持续五到六个月。这些项目将不同的理论物理学家和其他科学家聚集在一起，在特别及时、重要和具有智力挑战性的研究领域工作。两个项目同时并行运行，每个项目大约有15名物理学家常驻。这些项目的主题通常是由国内和国际理论物理界的建议发展而来的，涵盖了理论物理的整个领域。大多数方案协调员来自研训所以外，尽管常任理事国经常在这些活动中发挥主要作用。此外，研究所每年平均举办六次会议或研讨会，其中大多数与长期项目有关。研究所的努力将促进理论物理学的健康发展，并允许对跨分支领域的问题进行特别有效的研究。＊＊＊

9407194 Langer The Institute for Theoretical Physics will continue its very broad and unique effort. The Institute promotes research in theoretical physics with a particular emphasis, when appropriate, on problems that cut across the traditional subfields of physics. Its main activities are long term research programs which typically run five to six months. These programs bring together diverse groups of theoretical physicists and other scientists to work in research areas that are especially timely, important, and intellectually challenging. Two programs operate in parallel at any one time, each with approximately fifteen physicists in residence. The topics of the programs, which have spanned the entire gamut of theoretical physics, are usually an outgrowth of suggestions from the national and international theoretical physics community. Most program coordinators are from outside the Institute, although the permanent members often play a major role in these activities. In addition, the Institute conducts an average of six conferences or workshops per year, most of which are associated with the long term programs. The Institute's effort will foster the health of theoretical physics generally, and permit particularly effective research on cross-subfield problems. ***
