Topical Meeting

The organization of scientific meetings is one of the purposes of the Eurisol Users Group to discuss the various facets of contemporary nuclear physics relevant for the design and planning of the future Eurisol facility. The Lisbon meeting falls into this category, and is the third in the series after the ones held in Catania and Valencia devoted to “The formation and structure of r-process nuclei, between N=50 and 82”, and “Neutron deficient exotic nuclei and the Physics of the "proton rich side" of the nuclear chart”, respectively.

In the present meeting, we will focus on the present status of the lower part of the nuclear chart, up to Nickel. We will review recent experimental and theoretical studies, and provide the framework for exchange of information, regarding future developments.

The main topics to be addressed are:

1. Experimental and theoretical studies on:
1. Halo nuclei
2. Reactions involving light nuclei and their relevance to astrophysics
2. New experimental techniques and future directions
3. Relation to fundamental interactions
4. Boundaries of nuclear stability
