Computational Challenges in Nuclear and Many-­Body Physics

Venue

Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden

Scope

Advanced theoretical methods play a central role in answering the key questions of many-body physics. We intend in this Program to discuss and compare such methods as are being applied at present in nuclear physics, condensed matter, cold atoms and quantum chemistry. The problems faced in these fields at present are focused in the development of new methods and in the improving of existing techniques to achieve an understanding of existing experimental data and in predicting with high reliability new properties and processes. All this requires computation techniques and methods which at present seems to be dispersed in the various fields that we intend to discuss in this workshop. We propose this workshop as a mean to bring together all these related communities with the goal of creating an enriching dialog across the disciplines.

[Timetable - available from start of the program]

Format

The program will be composed of a one-week conference and a three-week focus workshop. The conference will give an overview on the new developments in the field of many-body studies and the computational and theoretical challenges. The advanced workshop will last three weeks. Each of these three weeks will be focused on a specific topic. We aim at having 2-3 presentations a day during the workshop, and giving enough free time for discussions and project work.

Travel Reimbursement

It is hoped that we will have some money to cover travel expenses (but no per diem) for programme participants. If you are interested in such a grant, please mark the corresponding field in the application form, briefly summarize your interest in the program in the comments field, and indicate an estimation of your expected travel expenses. Since only a limited number of grants is available, decision concerning the grants will be made on a case-by-case basis and you will be notified shortly after the application deadline.

Accommodation

Nordita provides a limited number of rooms in the Stockholm apartment hotel BizApartments free of charge for accepted program participants.
