Frontiers of Nuclear Structure through Spectroscopy and Reactions

The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Nuclear Chemistry will focus on the frontiers of nuclear structure research. It will provide a forum to discuss the most exciting results from theory and experiment, as well as new facilities, new instrumentation and new techniques. The subtitle for the 2009 GRC has been chosen to recognize that we are entering an era in which there is increasing overlap of interest between ‘Nuclear Reactions’ and ‘Nuclear Structure’, particularly through radioactive beam research. The program includes work at the interface of nuclear structure with nuclear astrophysics, and the interface of nuclear structure with nuclear reactions.

The conference format allocates generous time for open and lively discussion both during and outside the scientific sessions. As in previous Nuclear Chemistry Gordon Conferences, the poster sessions will play a key role in the presentation and discussion of forefront research. To promote the communication and discussion of the very latest research, participants not giving a talk are encouraged to present a poster. The tradition of selecting a few excellent posters for oral presentation after the Lobster dinner will be maintained.
