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

0353727 casten这项美国-墨西哥研讨会提案将使美国科学家能够参加2004年4月19日至22日在墨西哥Cocoyoc举行的题为“大小核物理：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到两位特邀演讲者的出席。墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）核科学研究所的Roelof Bijker和Alejandro Frank，会议旨在讨论和突出核结构方面一些令人兴奋的最新发展。其中许多发展都与特拉华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，以及他与世界各地的科学家（许多来自发展中国家）进行接触和合作的持续和非常成功的努力。会议将涵盖核结构实验和理论中各种各样的活跃话题。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pn和配对相互作用，以及魔术的鲁棒性。这种思想的先进的多体方面具有广泛的影响，超出了核物理学，进入了多体物理学的其他领域，包括飞物理（原子核）、纳米物理和介观物理。这次会议将汇集拉丁美洲和美国的科学家，并将鼓励他们之间未来的合作，就像皮特尔多年来培养的非常成功的例子一样。将特别努力向与会的年轻科学家介绍主题，他们（和其他人）将有机会在海报会议上展示他们的工作。这些海报的简短摘要将包括在即将出版的会议论文集中。本次会议由物理司和国际科学与工程办公室共同支持。

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.
