CENTENNIAL OF THE DISCOVERY OF POLONIUM AND RADIUM |
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE |
NUCLEAR PHYSICS CLOSE TO THE BARRIER |
Warsaw University, Heavy Ion Laboratory, 30.06 - 4.07.1998 |
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
The conference is organized to commemorate the centennial of the discovery of Polonium and Radium. The main goal of the meeting is to discuss the achievements and future of the low energy nuclear physics after first hundred years. The conference will be hosted by the Heavy Ion Laboratory of the Warsaw University operating a recently commissioned K=160 heavy-ion cyclotron and therefore is also supposed to become a forum to exchange ideas about programs which can be attractive for heavy-ion low-energy accelerators.
PRIMARY TOPICS:
Advisory Board: Juha Äystö (Jyväskylä University) |
CONTRIBUTIONS: The conference proceedings will be published in a refereed journal. The program will include several invited talks covering the primary topics as well as a number of contributed presentations selected on the basis of the abstracts which should be preferentially sent via e-mail. The proposed subjects do not necessarily have to strictly adhere to the list of primary topics! The objective of the event is to present new vistas, so all good ideas are welcome. Abstracts should be no longer than one page and received as soon as possible, but no later than by 31 of March 1998. They can be transmitted via e-mail as plain ASCII text or as an attached MSWord for Windows file or posted (diskette + hard copy) to HIL. The only requirement is the outline of the abstract. Authors selected for the oral presentation will be notified by the end of April. Abstracts will be presented in a booklet with the conference program. The last day of the conference will start with a panel discussion with the working title: Heavy ion physics - decline and revival. During this event short, five-minutes presentations, covering both general issues and specific problems can be presented and discussed. The conference will be concluded by a summary lecture.
