ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbytheregisteredcompanySpringerNatureSwitzerlandAG Theregisteredcompanyaddressis:Gewerbestrasse11,6330Cham,Switzerland This volume is dedicated to the memory of our colleague and friend Pier Francesco Bortignon (5/8/1948–27/8/2018), who contributed so much to the success of this workshop with his usual generosity and passion for science. Preface APhysics Department isa complex system, more akin toa living organism than a network of weakly interacting units. This is perhaps the reason why being the director of the Physics Department of the University of Milan for about six years has been such an exciting adventure. Iinheritedahealthydepartmentfrommypredecessor,FrancescoRagusa.Since then, we have been growing steadily. Looking at quantitative figures like the numberoffacultymembers,staffmembers,andstudents,however,oneseesonlya side of the story. What I mostly witnessed in the last years is an impressive qualitative growth in terms of the synergy between the different areas of research, the capacity of attracting funds from diverse sources, and the overall throughput of the department’s ecosystem. Idelivertomysuccessor,GiovanniOnida,adepartmentwhichisjustashealthy asbeforeandwithamoreoutward-orientedattitude.Thiswillbeakeyfeatureinthe nextfuture,whichwillseetheUniversityofMilanonthevergeofaradicallynew era, as the scientific Departments will move to the new Campus at the EXPO2015 site.ThePhysicsDepartment,recentlynamedafteritsfounderAldoPontremoli,has embraced this new challenge as an opportunity to expand its activities, possibly includingthedevelopment ofnew interdisciplinary facilities for applied physics. Withthisideaverymuchinmind,Ihavebeendelightedtoconcludemyservice asadirectorwithaCongressoftheDepartment.I’malsoproudtopresentthisbook of proceeding, which contains a faithful account of what we have seen and heard during our Congress. I would like to thank the Scientific Committee, all the speakers, and the many participants, for ensuring the high scientific quality of the workshop and of this volume. I warmly thank also the colleagues at the Mathematics Department, for having hosted our workshop in their conference hall. Finally, special thanks are due to the local organizers Vera Bernardoni and Matteo Bina, for their help and patience in preparing and running the workshop.
