The 3rd international conference entitled “Frontiers In NUclear STructure, Astrophysics and Reactions” (FINUSTAR 3), is to be held on the island of Rhodes, from 23 to 27 August 2010.
FINUSTAR 3 is co-organized by the Tandem Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece, and the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
This is the 3rd in a series of international conferences previously held in 2005 in the isle of Kos, Greece (http://www.inp.demokritos.gr/~finustar) and in 2007 in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece (http://www.inp.demokritos.gr/~finustar2). Just like the previous ones, this conference aims at covering a wide spectrum of research activities in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear reactions that due to common instrumentation and research facilities have been overlapping strongly over the last years.
FINUSTAR 3 will cover the following topics:
- Nuclear structure at the extremes.
- Collective phenomena and phase transitions in nuclei.
- Exotic excitations.
- Synthesis and structure of the heaviest elements.
- Nuclear masses and ground state properties.
- Ab-initio calculations and the shell model.
- Mean field theories, cluster models and molecular dynamics.
- Scattering and reaction dynamics at low and intermediate energies.
- Nuclear reactions off stability and indirect methods.
- Neutrinos in nuclear astrophysics and astro-particle physics.
- Nuclear astrophysics (Big Bang, s-, r- and p-process & nuclide production).
- Radioactive and exotic relativistic beams.
- Facilities and instrumentation for the future.
The conference will be held at the Rhodos Palace Hotel (http://www.rodos-palace.com) where the last EURONS Town Meeting took place in September 2008. It is located on the north-eastern coast of Rhodos, 2 Km north of the capital city Rhodos and about 15 Km from the airport. The conference will start on Monday morning (August 23) and end on Friday afternoon (August 27).
