U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Resonances in Small Systems

该奖项支持美国科学家参加将于2002年7月22日至24日在日本崎玉举行的关于小系统共振的美日研讨会。联合组织者是林肯内布拉斯加大学的Ilya Fabrikant教授和日本山口大学的Mineo Kimura教授。不同环境中的碰撞过程往往是由中间共振态驱动的。它们在广泛的科学领域发挥着重要作用：原子物理、核物理、表面和凝聚态物理、化学和生物科学。即使在涉及许多粒子的复杂过程中，通常也可能提取出与观察到的现象有关的少数体共振效应。另一方面，每个科学领域都有自己的方法来处理这些影响。因此，每个特定领域的专家聚集在一起，讨论他们自己的发现和问题，交流思想，学习其他领域使用的方法是很重要的。预计研讨会将为电子散射和正电子散射小组、表面和原子物理小组之间的更密切互动以及其他科学分支之间的互动提供一个很好的机会。该项目通过许多初级教师、博士后、研究生和本科生的参与，促进了国际人力资源的发展。通过思想和技术的交流，这个项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际理解与合作。研究人员计划在全会出版社上发表研讨会的会议记录。

0130500FabrikantThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on resonances in small systems to be held in Saitama, Japan from July 22-24, 2002. The co-organizers are Professor Ilya Fabrikant at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and Professor Mineo Kimura of Yamaguchi University in Japan. Collision processes in different environments are often driven by intermediate resonance states. They play an important role in a broad variety of scientific fields: atomic physics, nuclear physics, surface and condensed matter physics, chemistry, and biological sciences. Even in complex processes involving many particles it is often possible to extract few-body resonance effects responsible for observed phenomena. On the other hand, each field of science has its own method in treating these effects. Therefore, it is important for specialists in each particular field to get together and discuss their own findings and problems, to exchange ideas and to learn about the methods used in other fields.It is expected that the seminar will provide a good opportunity for closer interactions between electron scattering and positron scattering groups, surface and atomic physics groups and interaction between other branches of science. The project advances international human resources through the participation of many junior faculty, postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. The researchers plan to publish proceedings of the seminar in the Plenum Press.
