A life with quantum fields: Carlo Becchi turns 80

Tuesday 4 Feb 2020, 10:30 → 18:25 Europe/Rome

Aula Pancini (Department of Physics of the University of Genova)

Giovanni Ridolfi (GE), Marco Pallavicini (GE)

Our friend Carlo M. Becchi has turned 80 on October 20, 2019.

We invite all friends and colleagues to wish Carlo a very happy birthday and at the same time review his seminal contribution to theoretical physics and his role within the national and international community.

A 'light' workshop with both purposes will therefore take place  at the Physics Department of the University of Genova on Feb. 4th, 2020
