Depok, West of Java, August 18 (ANTARA) - No less than 100 world class physics experts from 24 countries will join a world conference held at the University of Indonesia (UI) campus, from Tuesday (Aug 19) through Saturday (Aug 23), a spokesperson of the university said here on Monday.

"This conference will be attended by some 100 participants from 24 countries. These people are outstanding physicians mostly from the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)in the U.S and from Tokyo University in Japan. Japan will send 30 percent, the highest number, and Indonesia will be represented by 8 physicians," UI spokeswoman Devi Rahmawati, told ANTARA.

She said the conference themed "The Fourth Asia-PacificConference on Few-Body Problems in Physics 2008" (APFB08), and scheduled to be opened by Minister of Research and Technology Kusmayanto Kadiman along with Rector of UI Gumilar R Somantri and Dean of Science School Adi Basukriadi.

She also explained that the conference to be held in Depok is the fourth for "few-body" problems in physics for the Asia-Pacific region.

The first conference held in 1999 at Tokyo, Japan. The next was held in 2002 in Shanghai, China, and the third was in 2005 in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

Devi further said the organizers have received a list of 94 abstracts which will be delivered on orally or in posters.

During the five-day meeting, the participants will discuss the latest techniques to solve "few-body" problems in physics and the latest findings in physics, she said.
