The Thirteenth European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Phys- ics
(European Few-Body Problems XIII) was held at the Elba Internation- al
Physics Centre (EIPC) in Marciana Marina, Isola d'Elba, Italy, during
September 9-14, 1991. The previous Conferences of the series, promoted
by the European Few-Body Physics Research Committee, took place in
Budapest (1972), Graz (1973), Tiibingen (1975), Vlieland (1976), Uppsala
(1977), Dubna (1979), Sesimbra (1980), Ferrara (1981), Tbilisi (1984),
Bala- tonfiired (1985), Fontevraud (1987), and Uzhgorod (1990). The
European Few-Body Conferences represent a relevant opportunity for
European scientists interested in few-body problems, of summarizing and
updating, together with colleagues from countries all over the world,
the status of art in this field of research, which ranges from the study
of atomic and molecular structure, to nuclear and particle physics. The
suc- cess of this series of Conferences, which also represent a bridge
between the triennial IUPAP International Conferences on Few-Body
Problems in Physics, testifies the relevance reached by few-body physics
in various fields and the important theoretical and experimental
contributions pro- vided by the European few-body community.
