INAC International School & OMEG2024 Pre-Symposium

 

https://indico.impcas.ac.cn/e/2024OMEGschool

The INAC International School and Pre-Symposium of the 17th International Symposium on the Origin of Matter and Evolution of Galaxies (OMEG2024) will be held at Beihang University (BUAA) in Beijing, China, from September 2 to 6, 2024, one week before the OMEG2024 symposium in Chengdu, China (17th OMEG conference).

This meeting is organized by the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) from various Chinese institutions and International research centers worldwide. The program consists of a one-day pre-symposium followed by a four-day school, featuring frontier-level research talks and fostering discussions on advanced topics in nuclear and astrophysics.

The following topics are discussed in the Pre-Symposium:

Big-Bang cosmology, primordial nucleosynthesis and dark matter

Element distribution in the Universe and Galactic evolution

Explosion dynamics and nucleosynthesis in supernovae and neutron star mergers

Stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis

Neutrinos and weak interactions in physics and astrophysics

Notice: We are accepting a few abstracts from participants and young researchers to give talks in the pre-symposium. This is also a good chance to practice presentation skills!


The INAC International School will offer lectures on the following research topics:

Big-Bang cosmology and dark matter

Lecturers: Tatsushi Shima (RCNP, Osaka University)

 

Stellar Evolution and Stellar Modelling

Lecturers: Marco Limongi (Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, INAF)

 

Supernova Physics and Supernova Simulation

Lecturers: Tomoya Takiwaki (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan)
                   Shuai Zha (Yunnan Observatories, CAS)

 

EOS of Dense Nuclear Matter and Neutron Stars and Quark Stars

Lecturers: Ang Li (Xiamen University)

 

Observations, Chemical Abundances in Stars

Lecturers:Jianrong Shi (National Astronomical Observatories, CAS)
                  Haining Li (National Astronomical Observatories, CAS)

 

Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics

Lecturers: Jie Meng (Peking University)
                   Xiaodong Tang (Institute of Modern Physics, CAS)

 

Neutrinos Physics in Astrophysics

Lecturers: Yufeng Li (Institute of High Energy of Physics, CAS)

 

Nucleosynthesis in supernovae and neutron star mergers

Lecturers: Jordi José (Departament de Física, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya)
                   Xilu Wang (Institute of High Energy of Physics, CAS)

 

Cosmic Radioactivities & Gamma-ray Observations

Lecturers: Roland Diehl (Max Planck Institute)

Besides lectures, three tools/codes are selected for participants to engage in group activities and develop their projects. We will also provide tutorial lectures and support on each tool:

1. FRANEC code (Stellar Evolution)
Lecturers: Marco Limongi (Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, INAF)

 

2. TALYS code (Nuclear Reactions Simulation)
Lecturers: Yi Xu (Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics, Romania)

     

3. Pysme & Pymoog (Observation, Spectroscopy analysis)
Lecturers: Mingjie Jian (Stockholm University) 

 

All tutorial lectures will include exercises designed to deepen the understanding of the given codes. To practice these tutorials and solve exercises, we have scheduled 10-15 hours of group activity time. During this time, participants can choose problems from specific topics or explore multiple areas based on their backgrounds. We encourage participants to expand on the given problems and strive for creative outcomes through discussions with their group members. On the final day, we plan to organize a student session where participants can present their results and discuss them with other attendees.
