Alan Luther Awarded
Buckley Prize

Nordita Professor Alan Luther has been awarded the Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society. The prize, for outstanding contributions in condensed matter physics, will be awarded at the APS March meeting next year.

Alan shares the prize with his co-worker Vic Emery of Brookhaven National Laboratory for their seminal work on interacting fermions in one dimension. This work has influenced profoundly a whole generation of theoretical activity on low-dimensional systems, and is crucial to understanding the physics of high-temperature superconductors.

Alan and Vic started their collaboration at Brookhaven in the early 70's. Alan has been Professor at Nordita since 1976.

 

Nordita Fellowships 2001/2002

Complete on-line application forms and letters of recommendation should arrive at NORDITA no later than November 15, 2000. See  http://www.nordita.dk/Fellows. Please ensure that potential candidates, in particular those at institutes outside the Nordic countries, receive this information.

Gerry Brown Wins Bethe Prize

Gerald E. Brown, Emeritus Professor at Nordita has been awarded the Hans A. Bethe Prize of the American Physical Society for his insightful analyses of the effects of various nuclear constituents on nucleon interactions and nucleon structure, and his contributions to new viewpoints on supernovae, neutron stars, and black hole formation.

Board Meeting

Nordita's Board will meet on 2 March 2001 in Copenhagen.

Nordic Winter School for
Particle Physics and Cosmology 2001
Gausdal, Norway, January 6-12 2001

The school is intended for PhD or advanced undergraduate students in all areas of high-energy physics and cosmology, both theoretical and experimental/observational. The purpose of the school is to introduce the students to selected hot topics in high-energy physics and cosmology, presented by some of the leading scientists working in the field. The school will be held at the Gausdal mountain hotel, approx. 40 km north of Lillehammar.

The school will be free of charge for Nordic participants (including full board and the travel between the Oslo airport and Gausdal). We also expect that we will be able to give financial support for the travel between your home institute and Oslo. You can apply for the school through the www-page  http://www.nordita.dk/~kari/nws2001. Here you will also find further information about the school. The deadline for application is November 15. The number of students at the school is limited to 40. School organizers are Kari Rummukainen, NORDITA, and Poul H. Damgaard, Niels Bohr Institute.

EU Marie Curie Training Site

Nordita is an EU Marie Curie Training site in "Field Theory in Particle and Nuclear Physics" for the next four years. This means that Nordita will be funded by the EU to host students from the EU and Associated Countries for a period of three to twelve months. For more information the link to the place where one can search for Training Sites is http://improving-mcf.sti.jrc.it/project/ and the link to the Nordita advertissment may be found at http://www.nordita.dk/positions.

NORDITA Seminars 2000

Time: 10:00-12:00 on Thursdays. Place: Auditorium M - Blegdamsvej 21. 10:00 - 10:15; Coffee in the NBI small lunch room. 10:15 Seminar and Discussion.
