Subject: Les Houches 1996 Programme (fwd)
Dear Colleagues,
Please find below the first announcement of the LES HOUCHES
School on Nuclear Physics to be held from August 1 to August
31 1996.
Would you be kind enough to give it as much publicity you
can.
Thank you in advance.

Motivations
In 1996 Nuclear Physics will be 100 years old. This
centenarian is still a most active and lively discipline
with many recent developments and new challenges.
Radioactive beams and advanced detectors give new impetus to
nuclear structure studies. New electron facilities explore
the deep interior of hadrons as well as the role of
subnuclear degrees of freedom in nuclei. Heavy ion
collisions, from moderate to the highest achievable
energies, allow the investigation of the densest forms of
matter and the transition to the quark-gluon plasma. A
profound unity, beyond the specialisation of the various
subfields, can be found in Nuclear Physics today. It is a
field of research which exhibits essentially all
manifestations of strongly interacting, finite fermionic
systems. The aim of the School is to provide a unified
presentation of both the main experimental developments and
the new theoretical tools in the field. The School will be
open to advanced graduate students as well as to more senior
physicists.
General information
Les Houches is a resort village in the Chamonix valley
of the French Alps. Established in 1951, the School is
located in a group of mountain chalets surrounded by meadows
and woods at an altitude of 1000 m. It is above the
village, facing the Mont-Blanc range. It is ideal for
mountaineering, hiking or touring as well as for more
intellectual work. Accomodation and meals are provided
within the School for both participants and lecturers. A
financial contribution of FF 6000 is requested from each
participant. Some possibilities for grants exist.
Participants who intend to rent lodging should inquire
directly at:
Office du Tourisme, F74310 Les Houches
(tel. (33)50.55.50.62).
Admission forms and additional information are available
