Nuclear Physics

This track focuses on Nuclear Physics, addressing nuclear structure, collective phenomena, and reaction mechanisms in strongly interacting many-body systems. Topics include ab-initio calculations, chiral effective field theories, nucleon–nucleon correlations, tensor forces, and emergent behavior in medium-mass and heavy isotopes, all central to modern Nuclear Physics research. Studies on drip-line nuclei, shape coexistence, giant resonances, and fission pathways highlight fundamental Nuclear Physics questions. Contributions on nuclear astrophysics—r-process nucleosynthesis, neutron-capture chains, equation-of-state constraints, and neutron-star merger signatures—provide a bridge between nuclear physics and astrophysical phenomena. Experimental investigations using rare-isotope beams, gamma-ray tracking arrays, recoil spectrometers, and high-resolution mass measurements deliver critical Nuclear Physics insights. Heavy-ion collision experiments exploring quark–hadron transitions, symmetry-energy dependence, and transport coefficients expand our understanding of strongly interacting nuclear matter. Detector innovations, accelerator upgrades, and HPC-based simulation methods are advancing the field of Nuclear Physics and our comprehension of nuclear many-body dynamics.
