TOPICS:
The Symposium will be devoted to the investigation of nuclei in extreme states and, in particular, at the limits of nuclear stability (from very light neutron- and proton-rich).
The Topics to be discussed are:
• Exotic Nuclei and their Properties
• Rare Processes and Decays
• Evolution of Shell Structure
• Collective Modes of the Nucleus
• Nuclear Astrophysics
• Applications of Exotic Beams in Materials Research
• Current and Future Facilities
The program will include oral and poster presentations of contributed papers. A school will be held for students on the day before the Symposium, Sunday (1 December)
Organizing Committee encourage the submission of oral and poster contributions in the indicated scientific areas. The Organizing Committee, in consultation with the International Advisory Board, will invite plenary talks and select contributions for the parallel and poster sessions.
