About : With the growing interest in the problem of Fermi Accelerators and Time-dependent Billiards (FATB), we plan to have a small spontaneous workshop in which recent progress in the field will be discussed. The workshop will consist of lectures of people working in this area (and possibly posters). We plan to reserve ample time for free discussions. Interested scientists at all levels are most welcome to attend and participate. Registration Form There is no registration fee - do help us by registering in advance.
