Meetings & Workshops
"Decay Spectroscopy at CARIBU: advanced fuel cycle applications, nuclear structure and astrophysics", Argonne National Lab, April 14 - 16, 2011
Dear Colleague,
This is the first announcement of the workshop
"Decay Spectroscopy at CARIBU: advanced fuel cycle applications, nuclear
structure and astrophysics" to be held on April 14-16, 2011 at the Physics
Division Auditorium (Building 203), Argonne National Laboratory. Please mark these
dates on your calendars.
The aim of the workshop is to discus opportunities for decay studies at the
Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) of the ATLAS facility with
emphasis on advanced fuel cycle (AFC) applications, nuclear structure and
astrophysics research. The workshop will begin on Thursday, April 14, 2011
and end by noon on Saturday, April 16, 2011. The meeting will consist of
review and contributed talks. Presentations by members of the local groups,
outlining the status of relevant in-house projects and available equipment,
will be also organized. Time will also be set aside to discuss and develop
working collaborations for future decay studies at CARIBU. Topics of interest include:
* Decay data of relevance to AFC applications with emphasis on reactor decay heat
* Discrete high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy following radioactive decay and related topics
* Calorimetric studies of neutron-rich fission fragments using Total Absorption Gamma-ray Spectrometry (TAGS) technique
* Beta-delayed neutron emissions and related topics
* Decay data needs for nuclear astrophysics

for additional information about the registration, program, lodging and transportation
to Argonne National Laboratory. Please notify the organizers if you would like to make a
presentation about specific physics interests and needs, or ongoing research activities,
in the above areas.

"E(U)RICA International Workshop", April 18-19, 2011
RIKEN Nishina Center, Wako, Japan
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce a meeting to discuss the physics opportunities
arising from the Euroball RIKEN Cluster Array (E(U)RICA), pending a
later decision by the GAMMAPOOL steering committee to host the Cluster
detectors at RIKEN. The workshop will be held at the RIKEN Nishina Center,
Japan on April 18-19, 2011.
After a very successful period of RISING campaigns at GSI in the years
2003 to 2009 and merging into PRESPEC, 15 Euroball Cluster detectors
become available from the year 2012. At the same time, the RIBF at RIKEN
has developed the capability to deliver the world's strongest radioactive
ion beams produced by BigRIPS from in-flight separation after fragmentation
and fission reactions. Therefore, the idea of coupling both devices for
experimental campaigns starting in the beginning of next year is evident.
The main objective for this first E(U)RICA workshop is the elaboration of
physics cases for stopped beam campaigns employing the techniques of
isomer and beta-delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy. It is anticipated that the
presentations and discussions will lead into the submission of scientific
proposals for the RIBF NP-PAC at the end of this year. Further topics to be
discussed during the workshop include the formation and organization of
the collaboration, the use of ancillary detectors, and the potential for
sequel campaigns such as fast beams, degraded beams, and g-factor
measurements.
Technical information about the former RISING stopped beam configuration
can be found here:

A description of the BigRIPS fragment separator is given on the following
website:

Details on the workshop including registration information, lodging
possibilities, and access guides will be announced very shortly.
We are looking forward to seeing you at RIKEN.
With best regards,
Shunji Nishimura, Pieter Doornenbal, and Tohru Motobayashi
