The
International Advisory
Committee of the series of International Conferences on Recent
Progress in Many-Body Theories is pleased to announce the award of
the 2007 EUGENE FEENBERG MEMORIAL MEDAL IN
MANY-BODY PHYSICS jointly to Professors Stefano
Fantoni
and Eckhard Krotscheck.
Professors
Fantoni and
Krotscheck will receive this Medal for their work in providing a
truly microscopic theory of strongly interacting quantum many-body
systems. While working independently, they have made crucial
contributions to the formal development of correlated wave functions
and correlated basis theories. This award recognizes their pivotal
and leading roles in advancing the correlated basis function (CBF)
method, including the development of Fermi hypernetted chain (FHNC)
theory, thereby providing an accurate, quantitative, microscopic
description of energetics, structure, excitation and dynamical
response of a dazzling array of physical many-body systems under
realistic conditions of interaction, density, and temperature.
