FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
1-DAY PHYSICS WORKSHOP ON ISOMER AND BETA-DELAYED SPECTROSCOPY WITH EURICA
DATE: MON. 12TH SEPTEMBER 2011
PLACE: GSI LECTURE HALL, DARMSTADT, GSI
THERE WILL BE A ONE DAY COLLABORATION PHYSICS WORKSHOP, HELD ON 12TH SEPTEMBER 2011 AT GSI TO HELP PREPARE EXPERIMENTAL PROPOSALS FOR THE NEXT RIKEN PAC (THE NEXT CALL FOR PROPOSALS IS EXPECTED IN MID-OCTOBER 2011) FOR THOSE EXPERIMENTS EXPECTING TO USE THE EURICA (EUroball RIken Cluster ARRAY) GAMMA-RAY SPECTROMETER AT RIKEN.
PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP AT
https://indico.gsi.de/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1313
(THE WORKSHOP REGISTRATION AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION WILL BE OPEN FORMALLY FROM EARLY THE WEEK BEGINNING MON 15TH AUGUST 2011.)
THE EURICA PROJECT WILL EXPLOIT THE INTENSE SECONDARY BEAMS PRODUCED BY THE RIBF FACILITY IN RIKEN USING A HIGH EFFICIENCY GAMMA-RAY SPECTROMETER, BASED ON THE FORMER EUROBALL GERMANIUM CLUSTER DETECTORS. THESE EXPERIMENTS WILL ENABLE DETAILED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF NEW REGIONS OF THE SEGRE CHART FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN PARTICULAR, HEAVY, NEUTRON-RICH NUCLEI POPULATED FOLLOWING IN-FLIGHT PROJECTILE FISSION / PROJECTILE FRAGMENTATION AND NEUTRON-DEFICIENT NUCLEI CLOSE TO 100Sn. SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS USING THE SIMBA ACTIVE STOPPER ARE EXPECTED TO BE PERFORMED FOR BOTH ISOMER AND BETA-DELAYED STUDIES OF EXOTIC NUCLEI.
MORE INFORMATION ON THE EURICA PROJECT AND SLIDES FROM THE PREVIOUS EURICA PHYSICS WORKSHOP, HELD IN RIKEN ON 23-24 MAY 2011 CAN BE FOUND AT

IT IS HOPED THAT THOSE COLLABORATORS WHO HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED LoIs FOR THE EURICA PROJECT WILL ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP AND GIVE PRESENTATIONS
ON THE PROPOSED PHYSICS AIMS. THE WORKSHOP AIMS ARE TO IDENTIFY NEW PHYSICS AREAS FOR EXPLOITATION WITH EURICA AND ALSO TO HELP CO-ORDINATE THE SUBMISSION OF EXPERIMENTAL PROPOSALS IN REGIONS OF THE SEGRE CHART WHICH OVERLAP BETWEEN DIFFERENT PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS FOR THE UPCOMING RIKEN PAC.
