International Symposium ‘Exotic Nuclei – EXON 2014’

Conferences, 02 September 2014

The International Symposium on one of the most important and most actively developing fields of nuclear physics – physics of exotic states of nuclei EXON 2014 is held on 8 – 13 September 2014 in Kaliningrad, Russia. The event is organized by five largest scientific centres where this trend is successfully studied. They are the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, the National Centre GANIL (France), the Research Centre RIKEN (Japan), the Scientific Centre on Heavy Ion Physics GSI (Germany) and the Laboratory of Superconducting Cyclotrons (Michigan, the USA). The leading scientists of these scientific centres – RAS Academician Yu.Oganessian (JINR), Professors F.Staley (GANIL), H.Enio (RIKEN), H.Stoecker (GSI) and K.Gelbke (USA) are Co-Chairmen of the Symposium Organizing Committee.
 
The Symposium is held in Russia for the seventh time. The first event was in 1991 in Foros (the Crimea), then near the Baikal Lake, in Pereghof, Hanty-Mansijsk, Sochi and Vladivostok.

150 scientists from 24 countries take part in the Symposium EXON 2014. Most representative delegations are from Germany (10 persons), France (12 persons), Japan (10 persons) and the USA (8 persons). Scientific centres in these countries are interested in cooperation with JINR and scientific centres of Russia that are represented by 28 participants.

The scientific programme of the Symposium includes invited reports on urgent trends of physics of exotic nuclei and new projects at largest accelerator complexes and experimental facilities. In addition, round table discussions are planned to be held.

It is not by chance that the Symposium is held by the I.Kant Baltic Federal University which is well-known for training staff of the highest qualification and organization of joint scientific research. For the Baltic Federal University, new contacts with leading scientists and leaders of main nuclear physics centres of the world will be the basis for future cooperation in fundamental physics and applied research, as well as in medicine, ecology, geology, information technology, etc.

About 80 oral presentations will be delivered and 40 poster reports displayed. They will be published in a regular issue of Proceedings of the International Symposium “EXON”.
