YKIS2011 First Circular
Yukawa International Seminar (YKIS) 2011
"Frontier Issues in Physics of Exotic Nuclei" (YKIS201)
11-15 October, 2011, Kyoto
YIPQS Long-term workshop
"Dynamics and Correlations in Exotic Nuclei" (DCEN2011)
20 September - 28 October, 2011, Kyoto
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to announce the Yukawa
International Seminar 2011 "Frontier Issues in Physics of Exotic Nuclei"
(YKIS2011, 11-15 October, 2011) and a long-term workshop "Dynamics and
Correlations in Exotic Nuclei" (DCEN2011, 20 September - 28 October, 2011),
both of which will be held at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics
(YITP), Kyoto University, Japan.
The symposium series Yukawa International Seminar (YKIS) has been one of the main international activities of YITP since 1978. The symposium is held annually, covering essentially all the fields of physics. The most recent one on low-energy nuclear physics was "Physics of Unstable Nuclei" (YKIS2001) held in 2001. In the present YKIS2011, we will focus on the following subjects and discuss forefront issues in physics of exotic nuclei including recent experimental and theoretical activities in this field.
Subjects to be discussed at YKIS2011 include:
- Shell evolution and single-particle motion
- Clustering and pair correlations
- Collectivity and shape dynamics
- Exotic excitations and exotic states
- Weakly bound and unbound nuclei
- Direct and compound reactions, radioactive decays involving exotic nuclei
- Dynamics and structure of superheavy nuclei
- Asymmetric matter at various conditions
- Exotic nuclei in astrophysics
- Large-scale calculations and ab-initio theories
The YKIS2011 conference will be held during the long-term workshop "Dynamics and Correlations in Exotic Nuclei" (DCEN2011, 20 September - 28 October, 2011). This workshop is planned as one of the series of long-term programs sponsored by the Yukawa International Program for Quark-hadron Sciences (YIPQS). The workshop is designed to promote new inspirations on physics of exotic nuclei as well as new collaborations through active discussions among participants, who are encouraged to stay for a long period.
Sincerely,
Yoshiko Kanada-En'yo
