Overview

The second LACM-EFES-JUSTIPEN Workshop will be held on January 23-25, 2008 in Building 6008 (Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The meeting is a merger of two workshops: (i) the US-Japan theory meeting under the auspices of the Japan-US Theory Institute for Physics with Exoctic Nuclei (JUSTIPEN) and (ii) the annual NNSA-JIHIR meeting on the nuclear large amplitude collective motion (LACM) with an emphasis on fission.

The purpose of the meeting, jointly organized by the JUSTIPEN Governing Board, by the UT/ORNL theory group, by the Todai-RIKEN Joint International Program for Nuclear Physics (TORIJIN), and by the JSPS Core-to-Core program "International Research Network for Exotic Femto Systems (EFES)", is to bring together scientists (theorists and experimentalists) with interests in physics of radioactive nuclei, LACM, and theoretical approaches related to the SciDAC-2 UNEDF project. As in the first Joint JUSTIPEN_LACM Meeting, one emphasis of the meeting will be on topics related to future collaborations between US and Japanese groups (under JUSTIPEN). We are looking forward to an exciting meeting with stimulating discussions. The program of the workshop will cover a number of topics, including:

Fission/fusion and other forms of the large-amplitude collective motion

Computational nuclear structure physics

Gamma ray spectroscopy

Clustering in nuclei

Topics related to on-going future collaborations with Japanese groups under JUSTIPEN

Topics related to UNEDF (density functional approach to structure and reactions, ab-initio methods)

Nuclear structure relevant to nuclear astrophysics

Satellite meeting: DFT-UNEDF Workshop on January 22
