A joint scientific and educational event "Physics of high-energy density in matter" will take place in Moscow at the beginning of December 2012

A joint scientific and educational event "Physics of high-energy density in matter" will take place in Moscow at the beginning of December 2012. It will include, as its first part, a Seminar for Young Scientists "Physics of high energy density in matter" (04-05.12.2012) to be held in the building of the FAIR-Russia Research Centre on the territory of the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP), and, as a second part, the traditional Scientific-Coordination Session "Non-ideal Plasma Research" (06-07.12.2012) to be held at the building of the RAS Presidium (Leninsky avenue, 32a). We cordially invite you and your colleagues to take part in the work of the Session and the Seminar.

Topics of event include the following research areas:

1. Thermodynamic properties of non-ideal plasmas
2. Transport and optical properties of non-ideal plasmas
3. Non-ideal plasma in astrophysical applications
4. Physics of dusty and colloidal plasmas
5. Generation and diagnostics of non-ideal plasmas
6. Applications of plasma in biology and medicine

1. Laboratory and astrophysical plasmas
2. Quark-gluon plasma and the problem of quark-hadron transition
3. Equation of state of matter at high energy densities
4. Problems of generation and diagnostics of matter at high energy densities by using heavy ion accelerators
5. Prospects for research in the physics of high energy density states within the framework of the FAIR project

Work format of the Seminar is anticipated as a series of lectures by leading Russian and foreign specialists for the Seminar participants - students, post-graduate students and young scientists. A contest poster session is also planned to be held among the Seminar participants. By results of the contest, three prizes will be awarded to the best poster presentations. Invited to take part in the Seminar are students and post-graduates from Russian universities as well as young scientists from scientific research centers of the RAS, SC "ROSATOM" and other Russian scientific organizations. Participants who live far from Moscow may expect to be granted a financial support in the form of reimbursement of their travel costs and a certain living allowance (the number of grants is limited).

The applicants for the Scientific-Coordination Session should register on the Workshop site (http://www.ihed.ras.ru/npp2012/) and send an abstract of their contribution (one page in Russian and one page in English) not later than by November 10, 2012.

Work format of the Scientific-Coordination Session will be in the form of short communications about the latest progress of the Session participants in the physics of non-ideal plasmas.
