Challenges and Opportunities in Nuclear Astrophysics: Exploring the Universe with HIAF

8 Sept 2025, 09:00 → 10 Sept 2025, 17:05 Asia/Shanghai

Room 3, Conference center (Huizhou branch, IMP)

HIAF is about to come online soon. We are going to organize a mini-workshop, focusing on the theoretical studies related to the nuclear astrophysics program at HIAF in Huizhou from Sept. 8 to Sept. 10.  We sincerely invite you to join the workshop in the IMP campus in Huizhou.  

 

The local costs, including lodging and meals, will be covered by the Southern Center for Nuclear Theory (SCNT).

The workshop will be kept small, with fewer than 20 participants. To involve more people from the community, we also plan to open the meeting to online participants. If you’d prefer not to have your talk broadcast online, please let us know in advance (you can contact Ms. Yihua Fan at fangyihua@impcas.ac.cn or Dr. Xiaodong Tang at xtang@impcas.ac.cn), and we’ll pause the online session during your talk.

Confirmed speakers include:

T. Kajino (BUAA)
Youngman Kim (CENS, IBS)
X.L. Wang (IHEP)
R. Diehl (MPE Garching)
D.L. Fang (IMP)
F.Q. Chen (LZU)
A. Li (XMU, online)
L.J. Wang (SWU, online)
