U.S.-Mexico: Nuclear Physics Large and Small:Microscopic Studies of Collective Phenomena, Cocoyoc, Mexico, April 2004

0353727卡斯滕这个美国-墨西哥讲习班的提议将使美国科学家能够参加将于2004年4月19日至22日在墨西哥科科约克举行的题为“大小核物理学：集体现象的微观研究”的国际会议。资金将用于支持研究生和博士后以及来自美国的一两位受邀演讲者的出席会议由耶鲁大学的Richard Casten博士和墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）核科学研究所的Roelof Bijker和Alejandro Frank博士组织，会议旨在讨论和强调核结构中一些令人兴奋的最新发展。其中许多发展与特拉华州大学巴托尔研究所的斯图尔特·皮特尔的工作密切相关，这次会议将庆祝他杰出的职业生涯以及他在与世界各地的科学家（其中许多来自发展中国家）进行接触和合作方面持续且非常成功的努力。 会议将涵盖核结构实验和理论的各种活跃主题。这些主题包括原子核的微观模型，奇异原子核和松散束缚的多体量子系统，剩余p-n和配对相互作用，以及魔法的鲁棒性。 这些想法的先进多体方面具有广泛的影响，超越了核物理学，进入了多体物理学的其他领域，这些领域将飞秒物理学（原子核），纳米物理学和介观物理学联系起来。 这次会议将汇集拉丁美洲和美国的科学家，并将鼓励他们之间的未来合作，就像皮特尔多年来培养的非常成功的例子。将作出特别努力，向与会的青年科学家介绍专题，他们（和其他人）将有机会在海报会议上介绍他们的工作。 这些海报的简短摘要将列入即将出版的会议记录。这次会议是由物理司和国际科学和工程办公室共同支持的。

0353727CastenThis U.S.-Mexico workshop proposal will enable U.S. scientists to participate in an International Conference entitled, "Nuclear Physics Large and Small: Microscopic Studies of Collective Phenomena," to be held in Cocoyoc, Mexico, April 19-22, 2004. Funding will be used to support the attendance of graduate students and post-docs and one or two invited speakers from the U.S. Organized by Dr. Richard Casten of Yale University and Drs. Roelof Bijker and Alejandro Frank of the Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), the meeting aims to discuss and highlight a number of exciting recent developments in nuclear structure. Many of these developments are intimately connected with the work of Stuart Pittel of the Bartol Research Institute of the University of Delaware and the conference will serve to celebrate his distinguished career and his continuing and highly successful efforts to engage and collaborate with scientists worldwide, many from developing countries. The conference will cover a wide variety of active topics in nuclear structure experiment and theory. Among these topics are microscopic models of nuclei, exotic nuclei and loosely bound many-body quantal systems, residual p-n and pairing interactions, and the robustness of magicity. The advanced many-body aspects of such ideas have broad impact beyond nuclear physics into other areas of many-body physics that link femtophysics (nuclei), nanophysics, and mesoscopic physics. The conference will bring together both Latin American and U.S. scientists and will encourage future collaborations among them, like the highly successful examples fostered by Pittel over many years. Special efforts to introduce topics to young scientists in attendance will be made and there will be an opportunity for them (and others) to present their work in a poster session. Short summaries of these posters will be included in the conference proceedings to be published. This meeting is being jointly supported by the Physics Division and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
