Dynamical cluster formation and correlations in heavy-‐ion collisions, within transport models and in experiments
FUSTIPEN Topical Meeting
«Dynamical cluster formation and correlations in heavy-ion collisions, within transport models and in experiments»
May 17-19, 2016, GANIL, Caen, France
First circular
Cluster formation is of interest not only in the areas of heavy-ion collisions and nuclear structure, but also in nuclear astrophysics (such as in the context of core-collapse supernovae and neutrino emission and absorption processes). This FUSTIPEN Topical Meeting will allow a wide discussion of theoretical transport models aimed at studying observables measured in nuclear reactions at intermediate energies. One recipe for production of light clusters (A=2-3) at the early dynamical stage of heavy-ion collisions is that contained in the BUU code of Danielewicz. The particular feature of the transport model is highly relevant for extracting information about the equation of state (EOS) and the density dependence of the symmetry energy. During the meeting, comparisons to other model approaches are going to be discussed such as antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD), quatum molecular dynamics (QMD) and models based on mean field approches (RMF, SMF, BLOB) or quatum statistical approach (QS). These comparisons will allow to establish a strategy to study experimental data that will be soon available as a result of the INDRA-FAZIA campaign at the GANIL Laboratory. Special attention will be dedicated to the particle-particle correlations as a unique tool to learn on the space-time extent of emitting sources, nature of nuclear multi-nucleon decays and on resonant states of light nuclei. Connections to nuclear astrophysics and, in particular, to dynamics of supernova explosions and neutron star observables, will also be discussed and a subject of dedicated presentations. These and related topics will be debated during this workshop
Besides the series of the daily, relatively short, focused talks, there will be adequate Q&A time after the talks and during a daily discussion session. We would like to keep the format of the meeting relatively informal and we invite those participants who believe they can contribute to the discussions to contact us at fustipen@ganil.fr.
At present the list of speakers includes:
E. Bonnet (GANIL), A. Chbihi (GANIL), S. Courtin (Strasbourg), P. Danielewicz (Michigan State University), D. Durand (LPC-Caen), D. Fabris(INFN- Sez. Padova), A. Fantina (GANIL), L. Francalanza (INFN-Napoli), L. Heilborn (TAMU), S. Hudan (Blumington Uni), E. Khan (IPN, Orsay), P. Marini (CNBG), P. Napolitani (IPN-Orsay), J. Natowitz (TAMU), T.Neff* (GSI), L. Quattrocchi (Messina Uni), G. Verde (IPN-Orsay),
*) to be confirmed
The list of speakers is still open and will be updated in the second circular. A solidified program of the meeting will be announced in the Second Circular, issued around April 22.
To register for the meeting, please fill in the registration form. We are asking even those holding a GANIL badge to register so that an accurate count may be obtained for the coffee breaks.
There is no registration fee. The U.S. scientists can apply for a FUSTIPEN award to participate in this program. A French FUSTIPEN grant can provide local support for the French-based physicists interested in the topics of this meeting.
