The 4th LACM-EFES-JUSTIPEN Workshop

Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

March 15-17, 2010


Overview


The fourth LACM-EFES-JUSTIPEN Workshop will be held on March 15-17, 2010 (with additional days March 18, 19 for more individual collaborations) 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 Exotic 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 preceding Joint JUSTIPEN_LACM Meetings (2007, 2008, 2009), 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:

Practical Information


Interested participants should send an email to Sherry Lamb (lambsm@ornl.gov) and provide the following information:

Name:
Arrival date:
Departure date:

We are asking even those holding current ORNL badges to register so an accurate count can be obtained for the lunches and coffee breaks (provided free of charge to the workshop participants).

You will find maps that will help you getting to and around Oak Ridge National Laboratory at the following address:

http://www.ornl.gov/ornlhome/ornl_maps.shtml.

Upon arrival at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, you are requested to proceed to the Visitor Center to obtain a badge for the duration of the visit. Since all external participants of the workshop will have to go through the same procedure, the whole process may take a while, and we suggest you arrive early enough.

The meeting will be held at the Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research, in Building 6008. This is the rightmost building on this map. There is parking next to the building.

Personal laptops and cell phones are allowed on-site. Visitors will be able to connect to the wireless network 'ornl-visitor' with their badge number
