Calendar of Physics Talks Vienna
| Solitons, nonlinear evolution equations and inverse scattering |
| Speaker: | Iva Hunger-Brezinova (Vienna University of Technology) |
| Abstract: | Nonlinear evolution equations play a pivotal role in many areas of physics ranging from fluid dynamics, plasma physics, nonlinear optics, quantum field theory, to approximative descriptions of the many-body quantum problem such as the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, the time-dependent Hartree Fock equations, or time-dependent density functional theory. In some cases nonlinear evolution equations are exactly solvable via the inverse scattering transform - a fact closely related to the existence of solitons. In this talk a short introduction to the inverse scattering transform will be given. As an example we will discuss the Korteweg-de Vries equation which describes propagation of water waves. |

| PANDA at FAIR: Status and Physics Prospects |
| Speaker: | Klaus J. Peters (GSI Darmstadt / Goethe University Frankfurt) |
| Abstract: | Though strong interaction has been under study for a long time, recent findings of new and unexpected resonances with unresolved properties show that the hadron spectrum is not yet completely understood. This is underlined by the ongoing discussion on multi-quark states, and other exotic states with gluonic degrees of freedom.
The PANDA experiment, one of the biggest enterprises at the FAIR facility, aims at exploring this field thanks to the gluon rich environment in antiproton annihilations that allow to access many quantum numbers, and foresees a much higher resolution in production experiments. A wide acceptance apparatus able to detect both charged and neutral particles combined with the high quality beam of the accelerator will enable a clean identification even of rare decay channels. In this talk, physics program of PANDA together with the PANDA apparatus is discussed. |
