Dear Collegues,

Our workshop is called a Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Seminar , since it is heavily supported by the Heraeus-Foundation.

 

Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung

The Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung is a private foundation which supports research and education in science, especially in physics. Among German physicists it is recognized as the most important private funding institution in their field. Some activities of the foundation are carried out in close cooperation with The German Physical Society (Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e.V.)

 

 

The Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung carries out a variety of specific activities (click on "Förderprogramme") among which the series of WE Heraeus Seminars dates back to 1975 (for a list of seminars taking place in 1999 click on "Seminare 1999")

Purpose of workshop:

This workshop will bring together scientists working on experimental and theoretical aspects of many-body dynamics. We have invited speakers from different aeres of atomic, molecular and solid state physics. On the experimental side new developments in multifragment imaging techniques with new experimental data will be presented. On the theoretical side the state of the art of present many-body theory will discussed and hopefully new directions of research can be opened. Young european students will attend the meeting too and have the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas and questions with experts on these field.

Each speaker is free to change the topic of his talk, but we would like in the spirit of the planned meeting that all participants contribute with good questions and creative anwers to the main issue of the workshop. We hope that all participants of our meeting will leave the meeting with plenty of new ideas and motivation. Speculations and grazy ideas in talks and discussion are very welcome and enforced.
 
 

Location of workshop: (see for more details   http://www.pbh.de/index.html )

The guest house of the Bad-Honnef physics center (in some 100m distance to the Rhine river) was originally for our workshop only for the time from 28.5. till 1.6.2000 available. But we were informed that the house can be partly occupied by us till the June 3rd.2000. If there is enough interest to stay one or two days longer, we like to know that. Then we could organize for the June 1st.2000 (this day is a religous holiday in Germany) a tour to Bonn / Cologne or into the Rhine or Ahr valley. On the June 2nd .2000 we could continue with discussions and short presentations (oral contributed papers). The meeting would then end on Fryday evening or saturday morning. Please inform us, if you are interested to join a tour and if you can stay till the 2. or the 3.6. 2000
 
 

Travel to Bad Honnef coming from Frankfurt/Airport:

If you arrive at Frankfurt airport before 28.5.2000 9.00 you can join us on a river boat trip from Bingen (leaving 10.45 from Köln-Düsseldorfer Rheinschiffahrt see http://www.k-d.de/tad/Tagestouren/tagestouren.html) . The boat trip is about 6 hours and arrives at 17.15 at Bad Honnef. This boat trip shows us the most beautiful part of the Rhine valley. The boat trip fare is regularly 90DM, but for our group only 50DM or 25US$ and is partly sponsored by a private donator.
Otherwise you can take the train from Frankfurt airport to Bonn (about 1.5 hours) and proceed via local Tram to Bad Honnef (Tram no. 66 from Bonn -main train station to Bad Honnef/ Stop Spitzenbach , about 15km from Bonn). Or you can go by local trains on the eastern side of the Rhine valley . Since there is on the 27.th of May a train schedule change we cannot give at the moment the correct train schedule. We will inform you as soon as possible.
