Welcometo
ECT*
What is
?
A European Center…
• Established in 1993
• « bottom up » realization, supported by a broad community (ECT* associates)
• Strong local support (PAT/FBK, major part of funding, administration)
• MoU with France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and many other countries
• Unique in Europe (other comparable center in the USA: INT at Seattle)
• A large flux of visitors (about 600-700 per year)
For Theoretical Studies…• Research done at ECT* is theoretical
• But most meetings involve theorists and experimentalists, especially collaboration meetings
• Some ECT* researchers have very close contacts with experimental groups
• Large variety of topics, mostly related to various aspects of nuclear physics.
• Also cross-disciplinary activities (BEC)
• Theoretical tools common to many branches of physics
• Large scale numerical calculations (BEN AURORA)
• Library (on site, and access to that of the Physics Department of University of Trento)
in Nuclear Physics…
Nuclear physics in a broad sense (low energy
nuclear physics and nuclear structure,
quantum chromodynamics and hadron physics,
physics of matter under extreme conditions
and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions)
and Related Areas
Which includes topics in
• Astrophysics
• Particle physics
• Condensed matter physics
• Many-body theory, quantum field theory
• Bose-Einstein condensation
