CCP2 Workshop on
Mathematical and Computational Methods in R-matrix Theory
13 - 15 September 2007, University College London, UK.
Please find the workshop programme here.
The workshop will
bring together researchers using and developing R-matrix methods
to describe electron (positron) atom and molecule scattering, ionization and
interactions with light. The workshop will demonstrate the great diversity and strength of
applications of R-matrix theory in atomic, molecular and optical physics,
while also providing an opportunity to pool experience and expertise in
theoretical techniques, algorithms and efficient (high performance)
computational methodology. Open discussion will be welcome.
The talks will be published in the form of a book that will be sent to
all participants. The workshop follows the QuAMP
IV conference at UCL (see also this link) and will
begin with a reception on the evening of 13 September. A workshop dinner will be arranged for
14 September.
