16th ASRC International Workshop " Nuclear Fission and Structure of Exotic Nuclei "

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Tokai, Japan
18-20.March.2014

Supported by Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC ), JAEA

Organized by the Nuclear Physics Group of the ASRC ( here )
and Nuclear Physics Group of the University of York ( here )

An international workshop : "Nuclear Fission and Structure of Exotic Nuclei" will be held on 18-20 March 2014 at JAEA , Tokai, Japan. The meeting will mainly be devoted to new experimental and theoretical achievements in fission, nuclear transmutation, and structure of exotic nuclei. Attention will also be given to relevant developments of detectors and new facilities. This is the 3rd meeting in the series of workshops held at ASRC in 2013 "Nuclear Fission and Decay of Exotic Nuclei" and in 2012 "Perspectives in Nuclear Fission" . Dedicated topics and/or sessions are as follows.

• Fission of nuclei (transuranium region)
• Fission in the light actinides, beta-delayed fission
• Transfer-induced fission and surrogate reaction
• n-TOF measurements
• New techniques for fission studies
• Transmutation and ADS facility
• Decay of exotic nuclei
• Super-heavy nuclei
