Reimei Workshop "Intersection of Nuclear Structure and Direct Reaction"

Date: February 28, 29 and March 1, 2024

Venue: Tokai Culture Center

Aim of the workshop

The workshop "Intersection of Nuclear Structure and Direct Reaction" will be held at the Tokai Culture Center for three days from February 28 to March 1, 2024.

Recent developments in nuclear physics have elucidated exotic nuclear structure such as new magic numbers and exotic clustering. Even near stable nuclei, state-of-the-art theories provide new interpretations for well-known nuclear-structure problems like the nature of the side bands. To establish such an interesting scenario, direct reactions play a crucial role as a unique tool to access the characteristics of those states. The importance of direct reactions is becoming more evident in the study of exotic nuclei, which can only be accessed by few available methods. Hence it is a good time for specialists in nuclear structure and nuclear reactions to get together and to consider future collaboration schemes.

The topics of this workshop include

This workshop will be held as a part of the activities of the Reimei Research Program "Unveiling nuclear shells and correlations in exotic nuclei through knockout reactions" funded by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

Application for presentation

Those who want to give a presentation should send us the title using this form by January 8, 2024. NO CONFIRMATION EMAIL WILL BE SENT to you, and please save the answer by yourself if necessary.
If the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the workshop, we will organize a poster session. The result of the selection will be notified in the middle of January.

Registration

All the participants are asked to register through the form by February 12, 2024. NO CONFIRMATION EMAIL WILL BE SENT to you, and please save the answer by yourself if necessary.

The registration fee is 1,000 JPY, and will be collected at the registration desk on site.

The closest restaurant is located more than 500 m away from the workshop venue, while there is a convenience store nearby. You can ask for a lunch box (500 JPY/day) upon online registration.

Excursion and workshop dinner

After the afternoon session on February 29, a small excursion to Mito by bus is planned. If it is not rainy, we will visit Kairakuen Garden, which is famous for plum blossom. If it is rainy, we will go to Kodokan, which was used for school in the Samurai-era (more than 150 years ago).

After the excursion, we will move to the workshop dinner that is held at a Japanese restaurant "Renma" that is located very close to Mito Station. The fee for these social event is 5,800 JPY including the admission fee of Kairakuen or Kodokan.

Program and preparation for the talk

The program is available. All the talks are 30-minutes long including 5-minutes discussions. We assume that you will use your laptop PC for the presentation, but a conference PC is also available. You can connect to the projector by HDMI or VGA (D-sub). We will prepare a USB type-C to HDMI converter for Mac or Surface users. This workshop is held in-person only.

Accommodation

We ask the participants to book a room by themselves. There is almost no hotel in Tokai, but several hotels are available around Mito and Katsuta.
