| Abstract |
The research program in helioseismology carried out at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at the University of California, Santa Barbara during the six-month interval from January to June 1990 involved 61 scientists of diverse disciplines: theorists, observers and instrumentalists in physics, astrophysics and geophysics. The main topics of research and joint discussion included mode excitation and decay, the internal structure of the sun and its sensitivity to the physics of the equation of state and opacity, seismological inverse procedures, and solar rotation and convection-zone dynamics. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
