International workshop on nuclear physics related to HIAF

16 Apr 2024, 08:00 → 19 Apr 2024, 21:00 Asia/Shanghai

As you may know, the High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) is under construction in China, and the facility commissioning is scheduled in 2025. HIAF is composed of a superconducting ion linear accelerator, a high-energy synchrotron booster, a high-energy radioactive isotope beam line, an experimental storage ring, and a few experimental setups. By using HIAF characterized with unprecedented intense ion beams from hydrogen through uranium, we can produce a large variety of exotic nuclear matters not normally found on the Earth, including super-heavy nuclides, short-lived extremely neutron-rich and proton-rich nuclides, finite nuclear matters in the Quantum Chromodynamics phase diagram, exotic nuclides containing hyperons, meson-nucleus bound systems, and highly-charged ions. As a scientific user facility, we expect that researchers from all over the world can approach the experimental limits and open new domains of physics researches. The primary

scientific goals of HIAF include:

• to explore the limits to the existence of nuclides in terms of proton and neutron numbers as well as mass number,

• to discovery exotic structure and properties in weakly-bound nuclides and then recognize the physics behind,

• to understand the origin of chemical elements particularly from iron through uranium in the Universe, and

• to search for the critical point in the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram of strongly interacting matter.

Now we plan to organize a workshop dedicated to physics program @HIAF. The workshop will be held in Huizhou City where HIAF is located., and tentatively will be from April 16-19, 2024. We earnestly invite you to participate the workshop, and take the opportunity to discuss the physics @HIAF, and associated experimental and theoretical techniques and methods.

The workshop will be co-organized by Southern Center for Nuclear-Science Theory (SCNT) of Institute of Modern Physics (IMP).
