THE GAP SYMMETRY AND FLUCTUATIONS IN HIGH-Tc SUPERCONDUCTORS

Organized by:
J. Bok (ESPCI, Paris, France, Director), G. Deutscher (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
D. Pavuna (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland), S. A. Wolf (NRL & DARPA, Washington DC, USA)

with a support of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division and the Collectivité Territoriale de Corse
          Co-sponsored by the DARPA (Washington DC) and the NRL (London, UK)

The main objective of this Advanced Study Institute is to present to active young scientists the most recent understanding of
the physics of high temperature superconductors with a special emphasis on the symmetry of the superconducting order
parameter and the role of critical fluctuations. Several theoretical models and a direct comparison with recent experiments
will be pedagogically presented and critically discussed.

Location

The summer school will be held at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse (France). Cargèse is a village of
considerable charm and historic interest located 50km north of Ajaccio, on the west coast of Corsica. The Institute itself is
situated by the sea, about 2 km south of the village. A group ticket at reduced cost will be arranged on scheduled flights
between Paris and Ajaccio on September 1 and 13, 1997.
