International Workshop on
Critical Stability of Few-Body Quantum Systems
October 17 - 22, 2005
Scientific coordinators:
Aksel S. Jensen (University
of Aarhus, Denmark)
Laurent Wiesenfeld (Joseph Fourier, France)
Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
The behavior of physics systems close to limits of stability is often
very revealing. Almost all subfields of physics have interesting
problems using very similar methods to study few-body problems at the
edge of stability. We shall organize an interdisciplinary workshop to
discuss examples of common concepts and techniques. The focus of the workshop
will be on the properties of weakly bound quantum states and resonances near
threshold. The specific emphasis will be influenced by the interests
of the participants.
The topics within the main theme will include:
• Weakly Coulomb or gravitational-bound few-body states
• Weakly short-range-interaction bound few-body states
• Continuum structure and few-body decay properties
• Dynamical few-body problems near instability
• Correlation in boson-fermion and mixed condensates
• Few-body correlation within many-body systems
• Exotic structures: Efimov, tango, Samba, Borromean, halo states
• Lower-dimensional systems
• Semi-classical methods
