BLTP School on Multiparticle Systems

On 29 January, the XVIII Winter School "Multiparticle systems: from condensed matter to quarks and stars" opened in a mixed format. The event was organized by BLTP within the framework of the project "Dubna International School of Modern Theoretical Physics (DIAS-Th)". The School's programme integrates multiparticle systems from cold fermion gases to neutron stars and quark-gluon matter. The participants of the School will learn about the properties of compact stars, discuss phase transitions, vacuum instability and the problem of confinement in quantum chromodynamics.

"This year, the School is distinguished by the unusual geography of participants. In addition to students, graduate students and young scientists from leading Russian universities and research centres, a large group of students from Bosphorus University from Istanbul, Turkey will take part in it," one of the organizers of the event, Head of the Quantum Gravity, Cosmology and Strings Sector of BLTP, leading researcher at the School DIAS-Th Irina Pirozhenko noted.

Young theorists will be delivered lectures in the following areas: theoretical description of interacting fermionic systems; cold fermionic gases; vacuum instabilities and phase transitions; properties of QCD matter; quark-gluon confinement problem; properties of compact stars.

Almost every day at School is summed up by a general discussion.

The School will last until 3 February.
