Workshop on the Null-Field Method with Discrete Sources

IWT, Bremen, 3. + 4. April 2008

Travel and Hotel information

The workshop will focus on recent developments of the T-Matrix method especially but not exclusively on the Null-Field Method with Discrete Sources (NFM-DS) to compute light scattering problems by particles of complicated shape and complex structures.

With this workshop we would like to invite especially young researchers to discuss various topics of practical interest which arise in the application or adoption of T-matrix programs for specific scattering problems.

It is intended to have talks, discussions and practical information on the Null-Field Method with Discrete Sources (NFM-DS) and on the T-matrix method especially on the following topics.
 

Topics

• Perl scripts for program handling
• Convergenve of computational results
• Validation
• T-matrix database
• Particle shape database
• Positioning of discrete sources
• Novel applications

Registration

If you are interested to participate or even like to present a talk or present some input for discussion please send an email or a two page abstract (PDF) to Thomas Wriedt by 29.02.2008. Word template
