Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics Book of Abstracts

Abstract

The Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics, for historical reasons called School, has been organized since 1963 by the Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) and the Marian Smoluchowski Institute of Physics of the Jagiellonian University. Over the years the School became a famous worldwide conference. Nowadays, the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics has a character of a biennial international congress and is one of the major events in Poland, related to low-energy nuclear physics. During the construction of the scientific program special attention has always been paid to offering enthusiastic and pedagogical overviews of the most recent research subjects in nuclear physics from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Young participants have also the opportunity to present the results of their research in short talks or on posters. Currently, the conference theme is “Extremes of the Nuclear Landscape” and it is a forum for reviewing progress in theory and experiment at the forefront of nuclear research. This time special attention will be given to the structure of exotic, unstable nuclei. We will also focus on collective excitations of nuclear matter. Furthermore, the nuclear physics context of astrophysical processes will be widely discussed. An important part of the Conference will be devoted to presentations on the newest achievements in the nuclear structure and reactions investigations and their influence on other disciplines. Noticeable discoveries in these areas are closely linked to the ongoing development of experimental facilities and detectors, which is among the conference topics. The aim of the Conference is also to increase the mutual communication of physicists representing various areas of nuclear physics and to create opportunities for intense interaction between graduate students, young researchers, and senior scientists. The current 55th edition of the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics is organized by IFJ PAN in cooperation with Coti Conference Time and is supported by NuPECC, CAEN, NAWA (The Polish National Agency For Academic Exchange).
