11. HRIBF Workshop on Nuclear Measurements for Astrophysics to be Held on October 23-24, 2006

The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will hold a workshop on nuclear measurements for astrophysics with a special emphasis on the applications of radioactive beams to such studies on October 23-24, 2006. The purpose of this workshop, hosted by the HRIBF users' executive committee and the Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research, is to bring together scientists who wish to study nuclear astrophysics with radioactive and stable beams and to acquaint participants with HRIBF's beams and experimental facilities available for such experimental studies.

A list of confirmed speakers is available at the workshop webpage. We are also soliciting contributions for the poster session to be held on the afternoon of the first day. There is no charge to attend the workshop, but those interested should register at the workshop website. The information obtained at registration is used to process entry to the laboratory. The registration deadlines are August 21, 2006 for foreign nationals and October 1, 2006 for U.S. citizens. We are asking even those holding current ORNL badges to register so an accurate count can be obtained for the lunches and coffee breaks. More information about the workshop is available at the workshop webpage.
