Nordic Winter Meeting on Physics @ FAIR

Welcome and opening remarks by the local organizing committee.

Understanding nuclei is a quantum many-body problem of incredible richness and diversity and studies of nuclei address some of the great challenges that are common throughout modern science. Nuclear structure research strives to build a unified and comprehensive microscopic framework in which bulk nuclear properties, nuclear excitations, and nuclear reactions can all be described. A new...

QRPA calculations give important information about excited state properties of nuclei. The Fidipro nuclear theory group at the Dept. of Physics, University of Jyväskylä, has been developing advanced QRPA solvers based on Energy Density Functionals since 2008. Our goal is to produce fully self-consistent (ground state and QRPA with the same Energy Density Functional (EDF)) QRPA solvers...

Advances in the production and manipulation of radioactive isotopes together with new innovations in optical spectroscopy and ion trap technique have resulted in a great progress in understanding of ground-state properties. The recent achievements pave the way for a study of ground-state properties of the most exotic nuclei, achievable only with the next generation facilities, like FAIR. In...

The objective of the DESPEC Advanced Implantation Detector Array (AIDA) project is to develop, commission and exploit a state of the art silicon detector array for decay spectroscopy experiments using the SuperFRS fragment separator at the FAIR facility. It is anticipated that AIDA will be operated in conjunction with other detection systems, such as gamma-ray and neutron detector arrays,...

Newly developed techniques for laser spectroscopy of very light isotopes and progress in atomic theory calculations of few-electron systems has allowed the determination of nuclear charge radii of helium, lithium and beryllium isotopes during the last years. These techniques had to provide high accuracy but at the same time sufficient efficiency to study very exotic nuclei that are produced...
