SUMMARY:Ian Thompson (Liverpool): Scattering by objects in close proximity
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable properties exhibited by metamaterials would be i
 mpossible without the complex scattering effects that occur as waves pass 
 through the material and interact with its internal microstructure. For th
 is reason\, multiple scattering theory is crucial to our understanding of 
 metamaterials. In this presentation\, we will show how multiple scattering
  theory can break down in cases where the length scale of the internal mic
 rostructure is comparable to (or smaller than) the wavelength. This is not
  a flaw in any particular mathematical modelling technique\; rather it is 
 a fundamental property of solutions to partial differential equations. We 
 will also sketch out some possible avenues for research into overcoming th
 e problem.
