Annual report 1983

The Institute of Theoretical Physics is a joint institute for research and education serving Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Goeteborg. The five research divisions have the following main activities: Elementary particle physics, Particle dynamics and Field theory. Statistical physics: Electron correlation effects in metals, Spin dynamics, Dynamics of classical liquids and plasmas. Solid state physics: Electronic structure of solids and surfaces, High energy spectroscopy of atoms, surfaces and soils. Surface physics and chemistry: Molecule-metal interaction, heterogeneous catalysis and other surface reactions. Mathematical physics: Wave scattering in inhomogeneous media, Inverse scattering problems. (L.E.)
