Subatomic physics is a very special branch of science, addressing unusual and complex problems. The reason is that atomic nuclei are too large to approach microscopically every constituent (of the order of 100 hadrons or 1000 partons), but too small and n on-linear to treat them statistically or thermodynamically as macroscopic bodies . This principal complexity requires exceptional intellectual involvement, and superior theoretical training, and forefront computational facilities. The Bergen Computationa l Physics Laboratory (BCPL) addresses these problems at different energy scales, from intermediate to ultra-relativistic energies, using a very wide variety of theoretical tools and methods. These tasks are at the limit of our present computational possib ilities, so that we have to exploit all available hardware and software resources for our problems. A few, most dominant basic research problems will be mentioned further on in this proposal. This proposal aims for a collaborative project between the Uni versities of Bergen and Oslo. The 18 BONTT researchers and 7 students (listed in the next section) belong to four subunits of the universities. The scientific coordinator of the project is L.P. Csernai at UiB and his deputy is L. Bravina at UiO. The tas ks, responsibilities and financing will be shared between the two universities according to the joint decision of the 6 Principle Investigators. The project aims at consolidating and furthering the methodological and computational physics aspects of the BONTT research activity, which is the strongest joint trend in the work of the research team. On the other hand the scientific activity of the team is very broad and versatile which is an essential strength of our team.
