U.S.-U.S.S.R. Workshop on the Legacy of Ya. B. Zeldovich forAstrophysics and Cosmology (Lawrence, Kansas; 2 -6 May 1990)

在天体物理学和宇宙学方面，美国和苏联可能是两个领先的国家。然而，这些领域的合作研究在过去并不常见。这次讲习班将提供一个重要的机会，在一个全世界科学界非常感兴趣的研究领域大力促进长期的联合合作。这次研讨会由堪萨斯大学的Adrian L. Melott博士和苏联科学院物理问题研究所的Sergey F. Shandarin博士组织，主题是Yakov B. Zel'dovich在天体物理学和宇宙学方面的遗产。作为20世纪宇宙学中最重要的人物之一，泽尔多维奇（于1987年去世）在这些领域取得了根本性的进步，而这些领域目前仍在积极研究中。研讨会将有两国10 ~ 15名科学家参加，其中包括两国5 ~ 10名青年研究人员。研讨会将包括一个关于宇宙学未来的开幕会议，这将向公众开放并以他们的理解为导向，以及一个为期三天的科学项目，其中包括一系列简短的演讲，然后是延长的讨论时间。选定的观察员将获准出席。参与者将被邀请利用最后一天来发展合作关系，并为长期合作研究准备具体的提案，以便随后提交和竞争性审查。该项目通过使美国和苏联的领先研究人员在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和有能力的基础科学研究领域结合互补的努力和能力，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。

The United States and the Soviet Union are probably the two leading countries in both astrophysics and cosmology. Cooperative research in these areas, however, have not been common in the past. This workshop will provide an important opportunity to strongly stimulate long-term joint cooperation in an area of research which is of great interest to the world-wide scientific community. The thematic focus of the workshop, which is being organized by Dr. Adrian L. Melott of the University of Kansas and Dr. Sergey F. Shandarin of the Institute of Physical Problems of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, is the legacy of Yakov B. Zel'dovich in Astrophysics and Cosmology. One of the most important figures in twentieth-century cosmology, Zel'dovich (who died in 1987) was responsible for fundamental advances in these areas that are being actively investigated today. The workshop will involve some 10 to 15 scientists from each country, including 5-10 young investigators from each side. The workshop will include an opening session on the future of cosmology, which will be open to the public and oriented to their understanding, as well as a three-day scientific program will consist of a series of brief presentations followed by extended discussion periods. Selected observers will be permitted to attend. Participants will be invited to use the final day for the development of collaborative relationships and preparation of specific proposals for long-term cooperative research for subsequent submission and competitive review. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the U.S.S.R. to combine complemen- tary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
