Announcement
XIIth International Conference on
"Selected Problems of Modern Physics" (Blokhintsev'03) to be held in
Dubna on June 8 - 11, 2003 is
dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the birth of D.I. Blokhintsev
(1908-1979), an outstanding Russian physicist, organizer, and the first
director of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research
(JINR).
The conference topics are defined by those areas of physics in which D.I.
Blokhintsev made significant contributions and which found the extensive
development at JINR. The conference is divided in two sections.
Section I is a continuation of the conferences
initiated by D.I. Blokhintsev, first, in the form of small workshops on
nonlocal, nonlinear and nonrenormalizable field theories. The first workshop
of this series was held in Dubna in 1967 when quantum field theory was
considered as a direction without a perspective in elementary particle
physics. Later, these workshops gradually transformed into the representative
International Conferences on fundamental problems of quantum field theory.
Section II is devoted to the use of pulsed reactors of different types
(self-quenching, periodical, busters) for physical research and the
discussion of new trends in the development of pulsed neutron sources.
The total number of participants is expected to be about 250. The Conference
program will include invited talks and original oral
contributions that will be chosen by the
Organizing Committee.
The Conference language will be English.
One of the conference sessions will be devoted to the scientific and organizational activity of D.I. Blokhintsev.
The
registration fee is 300 USD for a participant and 200 USD for an accompanying
person. It covers the transportation by car from airport to Dubna and
back, accommodation in a hotel (5 nights, single room, breakfast),
the break refreshments, social program, and a copy of the Proceedings of the Conference. The
Organizing Committee
is looking for a possibility of providing the financial support
for the participants from Russia and other members of the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The registration fee should be paid by cash only.
Arrival of the participants at Dubna is expected to be on Saturday, June 7,
and the departure on Thursday, June 12.
The Proceedings (two books) will be published by the JINR
Publishing Department.
If you are going to participate in Blokhintsev'03, please:
- Fill in the Application Form and send it to the
scientific secretary of
Section I or Section II. (Depending on your choice.)
Deadline for applications and abstracts is changed to March 15.

T.S.Donskova.
(Read Visa information for details.)
Deadline is April 1.

CONFERENCE SITE.
Dubna is a small and quiet town well known as an international scientific
center for basic studies of nuclei and elementary particles.
It is situated 120 km north of Moscow on the picturesque banks of the great
Russian river Volga.
Its surroundings offer peaceful rural scenery which, though having no
famous monuments, keeps memories of the past.
A 2-2.5 hour trip brings you to Moscow, the capital of Russia; to Sergiev
Posad, the Russian Orthodox centre with its 500-years-old Trinity-Monastery;
to Fedoskino, the centre of the traditional Russian lacquer box craft;
to a little town Klin with its memorial museum of the great Russian
composer Tchaikovsky; and to many other places of interest on the ancient
Russian territory. More information about Dubna can be found at
the official web-site of Dubna.
Registration
The registration of participants will take place on June 7 since 17:00 till 21:30
in a room near the reception of hotel "Dubna". For the participants of
Section I, it will continue on June 8 morning in the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics
building at the second floor.
Proceedings
We would like to inform you that Proceedings of XII International
confernce on "Selected Problems of Modern Physics"
(1 volume) are expected to be published by the Publishing Department
of JINR (Dubna). The Proceedings will mainly comprise the plenary talks.
The authors of parallel session talks interested in
publication in the Proceedings should present
a hard copy of their contribution to the Organizing Committee
for reviewing and selection.
The Proceedings will be printed from camera-ready manuscripts.
Manuscripts must be prepared in the LaTeX2e
format. Please, use
our proceedings style file pqft.sty.
The template is attached below. All figures
should be given in EPS or PostScript format.
In this format the page limitations of talks at plenary and parallel
sessions are 12 pages and 5 pages, respectively.
Users of old version of LaTeX compiler (LaTeX2.09 )
should download the file pqft209.sty.
The deadline for submitting papers (LaTeX2e files for
plenary talks and hard copies with LaTeX2e files for parallel session
talks) is September 15, 2003. The Organizing Committee will
appreciate it very much if you could provide us with your manuscript
at the Conference.
The guidelines on how to use the pqft.sty file can
read from here.
