"Nuclear Physics with Modern Magnetic Spectrometers", Dec. 14-16, 2010
INFN-LNS, Catania , Italy
Modern ray-tracing Magnetic Spectrometers allows to detect ejectiles
with both large acceptance and high resolution in energy, reaction
angles, mass, charge state and atomic number. This very important
achievement is reached thanks to a very careful optical design of such
devices and to the full implementation of the trajectory
reconstruction technique. From the experimental Nuclear Physics point
of view one expects that such Instruments allow to measure with
unprecedented accuracy even small cross sections and/or clearly detect
rare events as those induced by Radioactive Beams. Moreover the large
acceptance strengthens the possibility to measure coincidences with
ancillary detectors and sign the decay details of the populated states
and the leading reaction mechanism.
The aim of the present workshop is to review the current applications
and outline the future of these facilities in the field of nuclear
reactions induced by both stable and RIBs, including the detectors and
electronics involved.
The covered topics will be: Elastic and non-elastic reactions,
Nuclear spectroscopy, Momentum and mass
spectrographs, and Focal plane and ancillary detectors.
The workshop will be hosted by the INFN-LNS. It will start on Tuesday
afternoon (December 14th) and will end on Thursday midday (December
16th). The applicants are welcomed to preregister and, those wishing,
submit an abstract in the workshop web-site
MAGNET2010. Oral presentations will be selected by the Scientific Committee among
the submitted abstracts. The deadline for abstract submission is
November 15th 2010.
We ask for a registration fee of 100 Euros, that should be paid upon
arrival. Some lodging, free of charge, is possible at the LNS guesthouse.
Updated information will be posted at the workshop web-site
MAGNET2010 The registration deadline
is November 15, 2010.

"Astronomy with Radioactivities", Mar. 1 - 3, 2011
We would like to invite you to attend the 7th workshop in the series on
"Astronomy with Radioactivities" at Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. This
workshop will be held from the 1st to 3rd of March 2011, with registration on
the evening of the 28th of February and a visit to the fairy penguins at sunset
on the 3rd of March. web:
http://cspa.monash.edu.au/awr7/.
The scope of this workshop is to bring together:
- Observers of radioactive isotopes, from stellar/radio/X-ray/gamma-ray
spectroscopy, to cosmic rays and meteoritic isotope analysis
- Theoreticians of cosmic nucleosynthesis in its wide variety, from supernova
explosion and massive star to asymptotic giant branch stars, cosmic ray, and
binary systems, as well as cosmic chemical evolution
- Experimentalists and theoreticians of nuclear reaction rates involving
radioactive isotopes
The driver for our discussions is to understand how nature forms the
radioactive nuclei we observe and what are the effects of their presence in the
universe. Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to, observations
of gamma rays from the decay of radioactive material, nuclear processes in
stellar interiors, radioactivity-powered light from supernovae, neutrinos,
positrons, and cosmic rays in the Galaxy, and meteoritic analysis showing the
decay products of live radioactivities injected at the dawn of the solar
system.
This series of workshop started in 1996 in Clemson, South Carolina (USA) as
"The Radioactive Galaxy", and was later continued mostly at the Max Planck
Society's Ringberg castle in the Bavarian alps (Germany) under the title of
"Astronomy with Radioactivities". Starting from the discussions in these
workshop, a review book on this theme has been recently assembled, to be
published in July 2010 by Springer in its "Lecture Notes in Physics" series, as
Issue 812.

"Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science - 2011", May 29 - June 3, 2011
The first International Conference on Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science (ARIS - 2011) will be held in Leuven,
Belgium, from May 29 to June 3, 2011. This new series of conferences results from a merger of the “International Conference on Exotic
Nuclei and Atomic Masses (ENAM)’ and the ‘International Conference on Radioactive Nuclear Beams (RNB)’.
The origin of the ENAM conferences goes back to the 1950s and 1960s to the ‘Atomic Mass and Fundamental Constants (AMCO)’ and
the ‘Nuclei Far From Stability (NFFS)’ series of conferences. Held jointly in 1992, the conferences officially merged in
1995 in Arles, France where the first ENAM conference was held. Since then subsequent conferences took place in
Bellaire, Michigan (1998), in Hämeenlinna, Finland, (2001), in Callaway Gardens - Pine Mountain, Georgia USA (2004) and in Ryn, Poland (2008).
The first RNB conference was organized in Berkeley, U.S.A. (1989) and the series continued with events in Louvain la Neuve,
Belgium (1991), East Lansing, U.S.A. (1993), Ohmiya, Japan (1996), Divonne-les-Bains, France (2000), Argonne, U.S.A. (2003),
Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy (2006) and Grand Rapids, U.S.A. (2009).
The new ‘Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science (ARIS)’ series of conferences aims to provide an international
forum to foster information exchange and collaboration amongst the researchers in the field. The program of ARIS -2011 is
expected to include the most recent experimental and theoretical advances in the field and include the following list of topics:
Nuclear structure, Nuclear astrophysics,
Fundamental symmetries and interactions,
Atomic masses and fundamental constants,
Nuclear moments and radii,
Rare decay modes,
Reactions with radioactive ion beams,
Nuclei at the drip lines,
Heaviest elements and fission,
Radioactive ion beam production, experimental developments, and applications.

both of which will be held at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics
(YITP), Kyoto University, Japan.
The symposium series Yukawa International Seminar (YKIS) has been one of
the main international activities of YITP since 1978. The symposium is
held annually, covering essentially all the fields of physics. The most
recent one on low-energy nuclear physics was "Physics of Unstable Nuclei"
(YKIS2001) held in 2001. In the present YKIS2011, we will focus on the
following subjects and discuss forefront issues in physics of exotic nuclei
including recent experimental and theoretical activities in this field.
Subjects to be discussed at YKIS2011 include:
* Shell evolution and single-particle correlations
* Clustering and pair correlations
* Collectivity and shape dynamics
* Exotic excitations and exotic states
* Weakly bound and unbound nuclei
* Direct and compound reactions, radioactive decays involving exotic nuclei
* Dynamics and structure of superheavy nuclei
* Asymmetric matter at various conditions
* Exotic nuclei in astrophysics
* Large-scale calculations and ab-initio theories
The YKIS2011 conference will be held during the long-term workshop
"Dynamics and Correlations in Exotic Nuclei" (DCEN2011, 20
September - 28 October, 2011). This workshop is planned as one of the
series of long-term programs sponsored by the Yukawa International Program
for Quark-hadron Sciences (YIPQS). The workshop is designed to promote new
inspirations on physics of exotic nuclei as well as new collaborations
through active discussions among participants, who are encouraged to stay

"Direct Reactions with Exotic Beams 2012 (DREB2012)", March 26-29, 2012
We are happy to announce that the next Direct Reactions with Exotic
Beams workshop will be held in Pisa, Italy in early Spring 2012. This
meeting will be the 7th in the series which began in 1999 and focuses
on the experimental, theoretical, and instrumental aspects of direct
reactions with radioactive beams.
The meeting will run over 4 days, from the morning of Monday 26 March through
to the evening of Thursday 29 March. The programme will include, as in
the past, a workshop dinner and a free afternoon on the Wednesday.
In keeping with the workshop’s tradition, the meeting will be of an
informal character: no proceedings will be published and talks will
be selected on the basis of contributed abstracts with an emphasis
on those presenting new results. Similarly the registration fee will
be kept to a minimum. At present we envisage this being in the
range of approximately 50 Euro (students) – 75 Euro (others).
A web site will be set up in the near future and more information
will follow at that point.
Looking forward to seeing you in Pisa in 2012,
Angela Bonaccorso and Nigel Orr
