The State Scientific Institution “Joint Institute for Power and Nuclear Research – Sosny” of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus started submitting applications for the 31st “Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems” (NPCS) seminar. The event is co-organized by the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, the Institute for Nuclear Problems of Belarusian State University, Belarusian State University, the Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research. The seminar will take place from 24 to 28 June 2024.

The “Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems” seminar aims to provide researchers with a single forum for the discussion of various aspects of nonlinear dynamics of complex systems:

• high energy physics and nuclear physics (QCD, non-perturbative effects, confinement, physics inside/outside the Standard Model, quark-gluon plasma, collective phenomena, physics of nuclear transmutations, the interaction of particles and nuclei, astrophysics and gravitation, neutrino physics, radiative corrections, Monte Carlo simulations);
• nuclear power (modelling of neutron and physical, thermohydraulic, and physicochemical processes in nuclear and radiation facilities; development and use of software for deterministic/probabilistic safety analysis of nuclear power plants);
• information processing (quantum computing and cryptography, neural networks, artificial intelligence, information technology, parallel computing);
• mathematical foundations and methods (classical and quantum chaos, chaos and tunneling, correlations, dynamical systems, integrable systems, analytical and numerical methods);
• foundations of electronics and optics (nano-, micro-, opto-, and quantum electronics, classical and quantum optics);
• economics, social, biological, and chemical systems (nonlinear dynamics in economics, social, biological, and chemical systems, and medicine).

The programme of the event will include review reports and original presentations. The working languages are Russian and English.

The proceedings of the seminar will be published as a separate book. Selected papers will be offered for publication in the Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems journal.

Applications are submitted until 12 May 2024 via the link.
