A. Campa is Senior Scientist at the Health and Technology Department of the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, Roma (Italy). He holds a Laurea in Physics (University of Roma La Sapienza) and a Ph.D. in Physics (The Rockefeller University, New York, USA). His activities are in statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, radiation physics, and modelling of ionizing radiation effects on biological systems. He worked as a postdoc of the Italian National Institute of the Physics of Matter (INFM) and he is now associated to the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).; T. Dauxois is a CNRS Research Director at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (France). His scientific activity is in nonlinear physics and statistical physics, with applications to condensed matter and hydrodynamics. He was the Head of Graduate Studies in Physics (M2) at ENS-Lyon (2005-11), Chairman of the Committee for Theoretical Physics in CNRS (2010-12) and is now Director of the Physics Laboratory at ENS de Lyon.;
