In the last years an intense collaboration between our groups in the
field of low energy nuclear physics, with a very special emphasis on
nuclear astrophysics, was established and confirmed by conducting
several experiments together. It is our intention to continue and
strengthen this collaboration for long years to come.
To this end, we think it is essential to discuss the subjects that
will be the focus of our efforts in the next years in an informal but
efficient way and to extend this discussion to interested Colleagues
that were not involved in previous experiment and researches as well.
A very focused workshop of few days will greatly help to fulfil these
goals.
During the workshop we will discuss the key physics issue in low energy
nuclear physics to be addressed in collaboration experiments. These will
be conducted primarily -but not exclusively- at both CNS/RIKEN and
INFN-LNS facilities. Also we should discuss basic ideas on how to
perform the proposed experiments and how to manage the needs in terms of equipments, manpower and financial resources that will be necessary to successfully perform them. Last but not least, contributions from
theorists will be very welcome and helpful to set new perspectives
and goals.
The research themes that we would like to discuss include but are not
limited to:
a) Nuclear processes relevant for astrophysics like quiescent and
explosive nucleosynthesis, hot-CNO, primordial nucleosynthesis, AGB
stars;
b) fusion mechanisms at and below the Coulomb barrier with heavy ion
beams;
c) cluster structures in stable and unstable nuclei;
d) reaction mechanisms;
e) applications.
