Dear Fellow Physicist,
An update regarding the upcoming meeting of the Israel Physics Society:
1. The IPS2007 website (www.phys.huji.ac.il/IPS2007/) is on the air, and
soon to be open for registration and abstract submission. Alternative
abstract submission route is email to ips2007@weizmann.ac.il.
2. Important dates:
Abstract submission deadline: Friday, November 16th, 2007.
Meeting: Sunday, December 9th, 2007.
3. Program:
The first part of the program is settled:
Plenary talks:
Robert Laughlin (Stanford, USA, 1998 Physics Nobel Laureate): The quantum
criticality conundrum
Edward Shuryak (SUNY, USA): Understanding the strongly coupled Quark-Gluon
Plasma
Uri Sivan (Technion, Israel): The self-assembly challenge
Review sessions:
Session I: Large regional experimental user facilities and their applications
ions
Moshe Paz-Pasternak, TAU, on the Jordanian Synchrotron SESAME
Ami Nagler, Soreq NRC, on the Israeli high power accelerator facility SARAF
Session II: High energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology
Ramy Brustein, BGU, - Modern cosmologies
Eli Waxman, WIS, - High energy astrophysics
Session III: New materials in condensed-matter physics
Lior Klein, BIU, - GMR materials
Ron Lifshitz, TAU, Quasicrystals
Parallel sessions:
It is our sincere hope that this year's meeting will be dominated by
conributed presentations. We therefore encourage everyone, including graduate
students, to apply for an oral (10+2) minute presentation. We hope to be
able to accommodate most of the applications.
Poster session:
For those who prefer a poster presentation, please indicate so on your
abstract submission. The poster session may be used as overflow for the oral
sessions.
Abstract submission can be done online at www.phys.huji.ac.il/IPS2007/.
In case of difficulty please contact us at ips2007@weizmann.ac.il.
Best wishes,
The Scientific Organizing Committee,
Chairs: Dan Shahar and Israel Mardor (IPS2007@weizmann.ac.il)
Members: Joan Adler, Avishai Dekel, Lev Khaykovich, Gilad Lifschytz
and Michael Gedalin
