Third RIA Summer School on Exotic Beam Physics: The Summer School Program

The 2004 Summer School Program

The summer school had three main components. The mornings were devoted to lectures on major breakthroughs in RIA science. The lectures covered broad topics in both the experimental and theoretical physics of nuclei far from stability. The main topics of the Third RIA Summer School lectures are listed below. Other, shorter lectures focused on various aspects of exotic beam physics such as rare isotope production or ion trapping. The final program was given in the second circular.

Nuclear reactions with exotic beams - K. Kemper (FSU)
Nuclear astrophysics and the origin of the elements - G. Fuller (UCSD)
Nuclear structure theory - J. Dobaczewski (UT/ORNL and Warsaw University)
Excitations in neutron-rich nuclei with g-ray spectroscopy techniques - Th. Glasmacher (NSCL, MSU)

The afternoons provided opportunities for "hands-on" demonstrations of experimental equipment and techniques useful in RIA research. The hands-on part of the program was held at the ATLAS facility and was organized by the ANL Physics Division staff.

Following hands-on training, participants had the opportunity to present 10-minute talks on their research projects at their home institution. There were also opportunities for open discussions between students and lecturers in an informal setting.
