A Workshop on NUCLEI and MESOSCOPIC PHYSICS held at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, October 23-26, 2004.

The goal of the Workshop is to open the way for exchange of ideas between physicists working in different areas of quantum physics but studying the objects of mesoscopic nature which reveal important generic features and allow for similar approaches. Among these objects are complex nuclei, atoms and molecules, nanoscale condensed matter systems, atomic clusters, atoms in traps, prototypes of quantum computers etc. There are also exciting analogies in particle physics, astrophysics and even "econophysics".

It is planned to publish the Proceedings of the Workshop as a special volume by American Institute of Physics. The size of the manuscript should not exceed 18-20 pages. The link to all instructions and templates can be found at  http://proceedings.aip.org/proceedings/8x11s.jsp

The Proceedings will be shipped to the authors free of charge by the publishers. The texts of the contributions must be received,  both as a hard copy and the postscript or PDF file, along with Transfer of Copyright forms and permissions from the owner of the rights to the earlier published material, not later than January 28, 2005, by Professor Vladimir Zelevinsky, National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1321 USA; e-mail address "zelevinsky@nscl.msu.edu"
