Report of the 1st Eurisol User Group Topical Meeting

The 1st Eurisol User Group Topical Meeting was held at the INFN-LNS, Catania, 9 -11 December 2009, on “The formation and structure of r-process nuclei, between N=50 and 82”. The report is now available at http://www.df.unipi.it/~angela/top_all_19dic.pdf

Second Announcement of the 2nd Eurisol topical meeting in Valencia

On February 21st to 23rd 2011 the second Eurisol topical meeting will take place in Valencia. It is organised by the Eurisol User Group. The topic this time is “Neutron deficient exotic nuclei and the Physics of the “proton rich side” of the nuclear chart”. It follows the Catania meeting on “The formation and structure of r-process nuclei, between N=50 and 82” celebrated last year.

As you probably know, the aim of our group is to promote activities in order to keep the discussions on the physics at the future Eurisol facility continuously active and updated.
A number of people have already confirmed their participation covering a number of topics that we have considered essential. In addition, your experience at present or future short term facilities, as well as theoretical modelling related to nuclei “left from the valley of stability” will be an important input to the discussion and undoubtedly to the development of Eurisol.

All the information can be found in the web page
http://ific.uv.es/~eug-valencia

The meeting will be held in Colegio Mayor Rector Peset (http://www.uv.es/cmrpeset)
right in the centre of the old city of Valencia. Valencia is an attractive city that combines ancient history with modern life. In winter it has a mild weather due to the vicinity of the Mediterranean Sea.

At 10 minutes walking distance from the meeting place we have blocked a number of rooms in the four star hotel Astoria Palace at the very reduced price of 65.97 euros €/night (single room).
(information about the hotel can be found in http://www.hotelastoriapalace.com)
Please do your own reservation as soon as possible.
sending a mail to astoriapalace@ayrehoteles.com with the label “Eurisol meeting” in the subject.

We strongly encourage participation of students and postdocs. In order to have an idea about the attendance to the meeting we would like also to ask you to register via the web-page.

If you want to contribute to the meeting with a presentation please send a one page abstract to the meeting email address eug-valencia@ific.uv.es before December the 18.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Valencia

First Announcement of the 2nd Eurisol Topical Meeting in Valencia

Dear Colleagues,

On February 21th to 23rd 2011 the second Eurisol topical meeting will take place in
Valencia. It is organised by the Eurisol Users Group. The topic this time is
“Neutron deficient exotic nuclei and the Physics of the “proton rich side” of the nuclear
chart”. It follows the Catania meeting on “The formation and structure of r-process nuclei,
between N=50 and 82” celebrated last year.

As you probably know, the aim of our group is to promote activities in order to keep
the discussions on the physics at the future Eurisol facility continuously active and
updated.

A number of people have already confirmed their participation (see below) covering
the topics that we have considered essential. In addition, your experience at
present or future short term facilities, as well as theoretical modelling related to nuclei
“left from the valley of stability” will be an important input to the discussion and
undoubtedly to the development of Eurisol. If you are interested in participating
and/or giving talk, please register at the webpage http://ific.uv.es/~eug-valencia before December 18th.

In order to facilitate your attendance, we are organising a short but intense meeting
right at the centre of the old city of Valencia (Colegio Mayor Rector Peset
http://www.uv.es/cmrpeset ). Valencia is an attractive city that combines ancient history
with modern life. In winter it has a mild weather due to the vicinity of the
Mediterranean Sea. Also in the centre of the city we are negotiating with
the Hotel Palace a special price for participants which will be confirmed together with
the second announcement.

Please mark the dates on your agenda and write to us if you have any further question
(to Berta Rubio, chair, or Maria José Gracia, scientific secretary, at eug-valencia@ific.uv.es).

If you wish to give a talk please send a one page abstract to me at the meeting email address
eug-valencia@ific.uv.es before December 18th .

Looking forwards to welcoming you in Valencia.

2009 Topical Meeting

Towards the end of this year (9-11/12/2009), we shall held the first EURISOL UG topical meeting. The topic of this year’s meeting is :

“The formation and structure of r-process nuclei, between N=50 and 82 (including 78Ni and 132Sn areas)”

The venue will be Catania and the meeting will be jointly organized by us (UEC) and our colleagues from the INFN-LNS, Sezione di Catania and Dipartimento di Fisica. Catania has been chosen because it has already a very active group in Nuclear Astrophysics, and hosts the LNS, one of the laboratories in the EC we wish to encourage and support in their Nuclear Physics activities.

School on Nuclear Dynamics at Intermediate Energies and Quark Gluon Plasma,

I receive and publish the information on an interesting Nuclear Physics school to be held at Otranto, Italy, 1- 5 June 2009.

A small workshop on Unbound Nuclei (experimental techiques to produce and detect them
and theoretical models of structure and reactions) will be held at Pisa 3-5 Nov 2008. It will be very informal and each talk will have plenty of time (about 45min including discussion). There will be no conference fee for speakers and some local support will be offered in case of necessity.
