With kind regards, The Organizers Title: ------ Advanced many-body and statistical methods in mesoscopic systems III http://www.theory.nipne.ro/Meso2017/ Period: ------- September, 4-8, 2017 Location: --------- The Training Center for Industry, Busteni, Romania www.cppibusteni.weebly.com Busteni is situated in the center or Romania, in the Carpathians mountains, in the middle of a well known touristic area. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g656863-Busteni_Prahova_County_Southern_Romania-Vacations.html Organizers: ----------- Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH), www.nipne.ro Academy of Romanian Scientists, www.aosr.ro Conference fees: ---------------- 400 euro ( hotel + meals + conference fee) for September, 3-9, 2017 300 euro (guest house + meals + conference fee) for September, 3-9, 2017 Registration and submission deadline: ------------------------------------- For registration please download, fill and send the file from the webpage http://www.theory.nipne.ro/Meso2017/ Deadline for Registration/Abstracts: June 30, 2017 Scope of the Conference: ------------------------ This is the third edition of the conference "Advanced many-body and statistical methods in mesoscopic systems". previous editions took place in Constanta (2011) and Brasov (2014). The main goal of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together scientists working in various areas of mesoscopic physics, from nanoscale condensed matter physics to nuclear physics, in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and theoretical techniques, as well as the interaction between theorists and experimentalists. Mesoscopic structures are between not so few- and not too many- body finite size quantum systems. Good examples of such systems are atoms, molecules and nuclei with a relative large number of constituents, nanostructures, etc. They exhibit specific finite size properties, like: fluctuations, dissipative phenomena, collective excitations, superfluidity, shell and clustering effects. The methods treating such systems try to match few-body quantum mechanics from one side with the many-body techniques and thermodynamics from the other side. Topics: ------- Equilibrium and non-equilibrium quantum statistics, including fractional statistics Open quantum systems and decay processes Clustering features in atomic and nuclear systems Quantum transport Nanotubes and quantum dots Spin systems and their dynamics Fundamental symmetries in mesoscopic systems Phases and phase-transitions in mesoscopic systems Exactly solvable models Selfconsistent many-body theories Giant versus Pygmy resonances in nuclei Nuclear structure versus decay processes Matter in strong electromagnetic fields Directors: ---------- Doru Sabin Delion, IFIN-HH, delion@theory.nipne.ro Dragos-Victor Anghel, IFIN-HH, dragos@theory.nipne.ro Sorin Paraoanu, Aalto University School of Science and Technology, Finland, paraoanu@cc.hut.fi Scientific secretary: --------------------- Alexandru Dumitrescu, IFIN-HH, alexandru.dumitrescu@theory.nipne.ro International organizing committee: ----------------------------------- Alexandru Aldea, National Institute of Materials Physics, Magurele, Romania, aldea@infim.ro Boris Altshuler, Columbia University, USA Miles Blencowe, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA, Miles.P.Blencowe@Dartmouth.EDU Sergiu Cojocaru, National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, scojocaru@theory.nipne.ro Jorge Dukelsky, Instituto de Estructura de la Materia, CSIC, Spain, dukelsky@iem.cfmac.csic.es Yuri Galperin, Univ. of Oslo, iouri.galperine@fys.uio.no Aurelian Isar, National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, isar@theory.nipne.ro P.
