WORKSHOPS
Phase Transitions in Nuclear Collisions (PT98)
November 18-21, 1998.
The Niels Bohr Institute and Nordita, Copenhagen,
In view of the success of the first meeting two years ago, we are now planning
the Second International Workshop on 'Phase Transitions in Nuclear Collisions'
(PT98). The main goal of the meeting is to discuss recent theoretical and
experimental developments in the study of the various phases of matter and the
transitions between them in nuclear collisions at intermediate and high energy.
Recent progress in understanding the phase structure of QCD and in the study of
nuclear multifragmentation as a manifestation of the liquid-gas phase
transition, as well as forthcoming experiments at RHIC and LHC will be among
the subjects of this meeting.
Limited funds will be available for supporting some participants. Students
from Nordic countries can be partially supported by the NORDPLUS program.
Organizers: Jakob Bondorf, chairman (bondorf@nbi.dk), Thomas Dssing
(dossing@nbi.dk), Jens Jrgen Gaardhje (jjg@nbi.dk), Henning Heiselberg,
NORDITA, (hh@nordita.dk), Andrew Jackson (jackson@nbi.dk), Igor Mishustin,
program coordinator, (mishustin@nbi.dk), Ulla Holm, secretary, (uholm@nbi.dk).
Master Class on Laser Cooling, Cold and Ultracold Collisions, and BEC
Copenhagen, 3-9 December 1998
The NorFA network on "Coherent Laser-Atom Interactions" is arranging the above
master class. The lecturers will be Paul Julienne (NIST) and Kalle-Antti
Suominen (Helsinki), and details may be found at the web site:

The deadline for applications
is November 1, 1998, and an application form and practical information will be
available on the web shortly. The network has funding for 2-3 participants
from each member-group with preference given to Ph.D. students and young
postdocs.
