Nuclear Fission Dynamics 2019

YITP international molecule-type workshop (YITP-T-19-08)

Date and Venue

Oct.26-Nov.08, 2019, Room K206, YITP, Kyoto, Japan

(Seminar: K202, Discussion and Coffee room: K102, Visitor rooms: K506, K204, H305)
(First, please visit Ms. Yagi (secretary) at K106 first for registration.)

Organizers

Jørgen Randrup (LBNL/YITP), Akira Ohnishi (YITP), Kouichi Hagino (Kyoto U.)

Scope

The program will focus on dynamical aspects of nuclear reactions with an emphasis on the theoretical methods used for the description of low-energy fusion (currently of great interest in connection with the production of superheavy nuclei) and fission, a topic in rapid development (both theoretically and experimentally) and of current relevance for the r-process nucleosynthesis. A number of leading theorists with different but overlapping areas of expertise will be brought together for intense in-depths discussions that are expected to stimulate new research as well as possible new collaborations.
 
One of the specific subjects discussed in the workshop is the stochastic shape evolution as Brownian motion. For the fission dynamics, the shape-dependent level density calculation is also important. A related subject is a heavy-ion fusion reaction for superheavy elements. Another subject to be discussed is the relevance of the nuclear shape evolution (as manifested in the resulting fragment mass partition) for r-process nucleosynthesis. We encourage new/existing collaboration works among participants, as in other molecule-type workshops.
