Description

The goal of this rapid reaction task force is to foster collaborative efforts between atomic and nuclear physicists, computational astrophysicists, gravitational wave modellers and optical-infrared observers to sharpen and exploit the potential of GSI/FAIR in physics connected to neutron star mergers.

This meeting is on invitation only, except the Open Symposium on June 8th, 2018.
