2007 APCTP Workshop on
Frontiers in Nuclear and Neutrino Physics

Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics(APCTP), POSTECH,
Pohang, Korea
Feb. 26(Mon) ~ 28(Web.), 2007

1. Overview

  The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) is pleased to announce the 2007 APCTP Workshop on Nuclear and Neutrino Physics.  The Workshop, organized by LENS (Low Energy Nuclear Science) group, is open for all the researchers and students in nuclear physics and related fields.  The purpose of the Workshop is mainly to provide an overview of the current research activities in Low Energy Nuclear Physics and Neutrino Physics. The Workshop program will focus on the following three topics for current nuclear physics: Low Energy Nuclear and Neutrino Astrophysics, Hadron Physics, and Heavy Ion Physics. The sessions will consist of only invited plenary talks. The Workshop will be a good playground, where researchers in different fields of nuclear physics can communicate with each other and introduce the current research activities to the graduate students.
  The topics will include low energy nuclear astrophysics, neutrino oscillation and its properties, exotic hadrons and their properties with an emphasis on J-PARC physics, and heavy-ion physics. The official language during the school will be Korean.
