Workshop on Precision Physics and Fundamental Physical Constants

Dear colleagues, we would like to remind you about Workshop on Precision Physics and Fundamental Physical Constants (FFK 2013), which will be held in St. Petersburg from October 7 until October 11, 2013 in Pulkovo observatory (http://www.gao.spb.ru).

We thank those who has already registered (http://www.gao.spb.ru/russian/psas/ffk2013/part-en.html), and invite those who has not to do it before August 31.

The working languages of the workshop are Russian and English.

The main topics of the workshop are:

• fundamental constants of modern physics
• determination of fundamental physical constants
• precision measurements and fundamental constants in astrophysics and cosmology
• search for time variation fundamental constants
• fundamental physics and precision measurements
• quantum electrodynamics of bound systems
• spectroscopy of exotic atoms
• quantum standards
